• <b data-path-to-node="4,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Terroir (ter-wahr):</b> The « soul » of the wine. It refers to the unique combination of soil, climate, and sunlight that gives a wine from Nice a completely different flavor than a wine from Provence.

• <b data-path-to-node="4,1,0" data-index-in-node="0">Appellation (ah-peh-la-syohn):</b> A protected geographical area. In our region, <b data-path-to-node="4,1,0" data-index-in-node="77">Bellet</b> is one of the smallest and most prestigious <i data-path-to-node="4,1,0" data-index-in-node="128">Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée</i> (AOC) in all of France.

• <b data-path-to-node="4,2,0" data-index-in-node="0">Cuvée (koo-vay):</b> A specific blend or batch of wine. If a winemaker calls a bottle a « Cuvée Prestige, » they are showing you their very best work.

Leaving these in the sun is a rare, ancient tradition that « cooks » the wine naturally, creating a unique, sun-kissed flavor.
