Braquet is a rare red wine grape native to the Provence region of southeastern France, particularly found in the Bellet appellation near Nice. It produces light-bodied, elegant wines with delicate characteristics and is one of the most obscure French varietals.
Flavors & Aromas
Red berries, cherry, herbs, spice, and subtle floral notes with a distinctive peppery finish
Winemaking & Aging
Low to medium tannins, high acidity, light body, and moderate alcohol content. Braquet wines are typically meant for early consumption but can age gracefully for 5-10 years in favorable conditions. The grape is difficult to cultivate and produces small yields, contributing to its rarity and high price.
