What does a fruity organic wine look like?
To start, you have to know the difference between a fruity wine and a sweet wine.
A sweet wine has a high sugar content, which allows transformation into alcohol during alcoholic fermentation . Conversely, fruit aromas are what give a wine its fruitiness, and they evolve throughout the winemaking process .
Some rather dry wines are fruity and a good example is our white Bordeaux , which lets the fruit notes express themselves without being too sweet.
The fruity aromas are what are called “ primary aromas ”, which depend on the grape varieties and the terroirs . A fruity organic wine is obviously a wine in which the grape expresses itself while also keeping a little room for a string of other fruity aromas .
What aromas can be found in a fruity organic wine?
When the winemaker prepares his wine, it's a bit like a magician concocting his potion. He can vary the containers, the duration of the stages and also play on the blends of grape varieties to find the balance that suits him. So he takes care of his vines which grow on the hillsides , soak up the nutrients of the soil and soak up the sun to make a good juice, tasty and aromatic .

There are different wine appellations in France : AOC, AOP, IGP. Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée ; Protected Designation of Origin ; Protected Geographical Indication .
Ellesi impose certain rules on production and marketing, in particular on grape varieties depending on the location.
