Love Gamay? Here’s Why You Should Be Paying Attention to Carignan

The Whisper Of Umami
I chip into the hard yellow wax over the cork and it shatters; a frustrating rain over my station. Domaine Raveneau’s 2008 Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons is initially tight, mineral and austere, yet full of subtle power.

Technology to recover and modulate the aroma lost during alcoholic fermentation
Abstract
During the alcoholic fermentation a part of the volatile compounds escapes from the vat. This loss is mainly due to the stripping effect of the carbon dioxide produced by yeasts, and results in a loss of wine aroma. In a first trial we identified and measured the volatile compounds lost in this way, fin
