Primary aromas are distinguished from secondary and tertiary aromas.<\/p>\n<p>The primary aromas, known as varietal aromas, originate in the grape and depend on the grape variety and the terroir. They include nuances of fruit (e.g. blackcurrant, cherry, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, apple, apricot, peach, lemon) and flowers (e.g. violet). They are the expression of viticulture.<\/p>\n<p>Secondary aromas are created during alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. They depend on maceration times, fermentation temperatures and the yeast strains used. They are the result of oenology. Examples include honey and rose.<\/p>\n<p>Tertiary aromas appear as the wine matures and ages in the bottle. They are the result of the work of the winemaker. They include pepper, liquorice, leather, vanilla and tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>So a wine\u2019s aromas can tell us about its grape variety or varieties, its terroir, the way it was vinified and matured, and its age.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                          <div class=\"card\">\n                <div class=\"card-header border-0\" id=\"heading3\">\n                  <h3 class=\"mb-0 acc-haeder\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse3\" class=\"btn btn-link collapsible-link collapsed\">Are the kit aromas natural?<\/button>\n                  <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"collapse3\" class=\"dfert collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading3\" data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n                  <div class=\"card-body p-5\">\n                    \n<p>Wherever possible, our aromas are of natural origin.<\/p>\n<p>Each aroma in <em>Le Nez du Vin<\/em>, <em>Le Nez du Caf\u00e9<\/em> and <em>Le Nez du Whisky<\/em> is a composition made from natural or synthetic products (approximately 50\/50).<\/p>\n<p>Why do we use synthetic products for our flavourings?<\/p>\n<p>For cost and concern for the environment. For example, if an extract of the natural product does not exist on the market and can only be manufactured at high prices. It would be extremely expensive to obtain a saffron extract: just 1 kilo of saffron extract would cost hundreds of thousands of euros!<\/p>\n<p>To guarantee consistent aroma quality. Fruit extraction techniques tend to degrade the product and bring out notes that are not always pleasant. For example, natural banana extract can smell bad, while natural strawberry and apricot aromas lack stability.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know?<\/p>\n<p>Synthetic raw materials are now the basis of perfumery. The first perfume to use these new products was Chanel\u2019s famous N\u00b05, created in 1925, which included an aldehyde. The olfactory qualities of synthetic raw materials obtained through petroleum chemistry are today entirely comparable to those of natural raw materials.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                          <div class=\"card\">\n                <div class=\"card-header border-0\" id=\"heading4\">\n                  <h3 class=\"mb-0 acc-haeder\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse4\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse4\" class=\"btn btn-link collapsible-link collapsed\">Do the aromas contain alcohol?<\/button>\n                  <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"collapse4\" class=\"dfert collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading4\" data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n                  <div class=\"card-body p-5\">\n                    \n<p>We use various solvents to dilute our aromas. Ethanol (or ethyl alcohol, or simply alcohol) is a very good solvent for some of them. Alcohol is used in cosmetic products such as perfumes and deodorants. In the case of wine, the presence of ethanol makes it possible to \u2018fix\u2019 more molecules. A wine without alcohol does not have the same smell as one that contains it.<\/p>\n<p>Some natural products are only soluble in alcohol. This is the case, for example, with the cut hay absolute (pure essence). We are constantly striving to reduce the proportion of ethanol in our preparations. For example, our <em>Master Kit 54 aromas<\/em> contain only 3 cl.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                          <div class=\"card\">\n                <div class=\"card-header border-0\" id=\"heading5\">\n                  <h3 class=\"mb-0 acc-haeder\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse5\" class=\"btn btn-link collapsible-link collapsed\">Is everything included in the <i>Master Kit 54 aromas<\/i>?<\/button>\n                  <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"collapse5\" class=\"dfert collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading5\" data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n                  <div class=\"card-body p-5\">\n                    \n<p>No: The 12 aromas in the <em>Wine Faults kit<\/em> and the <em>12 aromas in the Oak Cask kit<\/em> are complementary to the <em>Master Kit<\/em>.
