France
Wine is being produced throughout France and has been done for over 2,500 years with certain Châteaux dating their history back to Roman times, around 6th Century BC. Ranking second in the world in per-capita consumption and first in total production quantity. More so than the overall quantity of wine is the quantity of truly great wines coming out of France makes the nation the envy of wine-making nations worldwide.
Two concepts pivotal to the higher end French wines, in particular, are the idea of 'terroir' and the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system. Terroir refers to the way the geography, geology and climate find their way into the glass, telling a story of the origin of the wine. The AOC was set up in 1935 and has the primary goal of protecting the authenticity of the wines and the livelihoods of the producers. Appellation rules strictly define which varieties of grapes and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover entire regions, individual villages or in some cases, like in Burgundy even specific vineyards.
Classic wine regions in France include Champagne (home of Champagne), Burgundy (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay), Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot), Alsace (Aromatic varietals), Loire Valley (Chenin Blanc, Crémant) and the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache Mourvedre)
The Bordeaux classification of 1855 is still in use, as is the Sauternes and Barsac Classification of the same year. Wines from certain regions can be bought En Primeur, which is when the wine is sold prior to it being bottled.
Lower Normandy
Lower Normandy has a reputation for a number of alcoholic beverages, including ciders, eaux de vie (a clear, colourless fruit brandy), local liqueurs, and Calvados. And though it’s not an official French wine region, Lower Normandy does have a rich history of viticulture and wine production, thanks to the area’s dry and sunny climate. In fact, the Arpents du Solei – which translates to ‘acres of sun’ – vineyard produces Pinot Noir, Melon de Bourgogne, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, and Müller-Thurgau. Most of the wine produced here is white, but the acclaimed Pinot Noir wines boast red-fruit aromas and flavours, with strawberries and raspberries on the nose, and these notes following through on the silky palate alongside cherry characters, thyme, and sweet spice.
About the brand Adrien Camut
The Camut estate grows a staggering 800 types of apples on their bucolic property in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region of Calvados. This, and the maturation in large semi-full oak barrels, creates a spirit with surprising complexity and softness for a relatively young brandy. The Pays D'Auge AOC requires double distillation in copper pot stills, but the Camuts go a step further by using wood fire to power the still the old fashioned way.You May Also Like
