After six years of sustained effort by Médoc winegrowers, the Institut National de l’Origine et de la Qualité (INAO) officially recognized the AOC Médoc blanc on June 12, 2025. This recognition marks a historic step for a region long perceived as exclusively dedicated to red wines, and celebrates the revival of an ancient expertise.
Every year, the prestigious French magazine Bettane & Desseauve awards its Talent prize to producers who have demonstrated exceptional talent over several vintages and who are worth keeping a close eye on. Each and every one of them is shaping the landscape of a new style of winemaking that is ambitious, precise and conscious of environmental issues.
When most people think Provence, they think rosé. And when they think rosé, they think summer.
Southern Champagne, where the soil speaks louder than the brands. The Côte des Bar is stepping out of the shadows with organic farming, single-parcel wines, and a Burgundian accent: ripe fruit, precise minerality, and ideal food pairing.

Summer has firmly settled in Provence.
This week begins with a focus on the Champagne region, where spring is in full bloom in the heart of the vineyard nestled in the Côte des Bar,a terroir more similar to Chablis than Épernay. Guided by Delphine Brulez, we explored her sunlit vines to observe the current viticultural work and closely monitor the evolution of the vegetation. We had the privilege of admiring an exceptional winegrowing landscape, shaped by a remarkable diversity of soils. In 2024, the estate commissioned an in-depth study of its terroirs to better understand the specificities of each plot.
At the start of this week, our vineyard tour takes us to Listrac-Médoc, to Château Fourcas Hosten, which features a geologically interesting vineyard, since the plots are located not only on Pyrenean gravel, as is typical of the Médoc, but also on an anticline of old limestone rocks where the white grape varieties (Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Semillon), some Merlot and Cabernet Franc are planted.
