Ros\u00e9 wines from Europe, a taste of the good life!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Interprofessional Council of Wines of Provence<\/strong> (CIVP) and the Consortium Valt\u00e8nesi<\/strong> joined forces through a three-year European campaign, from 2022-2024, in the target markets of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The campaign, co-financed by the EU, focuses on awareness-raising around the European quality label PDO, using the example of premium ros\u00e9 wines from Provence and Italian Valt\u00e8nesi.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Provence and Valt\u00e8nesi are benchmark European wine regions with centuries-old winemaking traditions. Their ros\u00e9 wine expertise, dedicated winemakers committed to sustainable development, quality, authenticity, terroir, and their postcard-worthy landscapes are all commonalities that unite the two regions in this campaign. Furthermore, AOP ros\u00e9 wines are as diverse as the occasions on which they are enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provence and Valt\u00e8nesi offer a wide spectrum of flavours and styles to suit even the most eclectic tastes, from light and delicate to fruity and intense. Their exceptional quality and characteristics make them a must-try for any gourmand seeking unforgettable culinary experiences. Because ros\u00e9 wines are not simply destined to make an aperitif memorable; they also have a special place at the dining table. Whether you're a gastronome or a fan of world cuisine, there's bound to be an AOP ros\u00e9 wine to suit every occasion. Ros\u00e9 wines are known for being synonymous with joie de vivre, emotions, conviviality and carefree enjoyment. It is precisely this complexity that is expressed in their slogan: \u00ab\u00a0Much more than a colour<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb"Treat yourself: come and sample these ros\u00e9 wines for free at Tent 8 at \u00c9picuriales!"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point Chaud, artisan from morning to night!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The subtle, mouth-watering aromas of bread slowly baking, the gentle warmth of an oven, and the comforting smell of chocolate wafting through the air\u2026 Dawn is just breaking, much like the shutters of the brand's 55 bakeries. Hot spot<\/strong>. Reconciling a local point of sale, artisanal manufacturing, and large-scale production was an incredible challenge 30 years ago. Didier Depreay has since shown that it was not only possible, but also delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hot<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The story began in 1993 in Belgium, and more specifically in the province of Li\u00e8ge, when Point Chaud opened its first shop in Fl\u00e9ron. The initial idea was quite innovative as it consisted of offering fresh bread throughout the day. Previously, bakers worked in their workshops, mostly at night, and produced their entire daily output in a relatively short period of time. Their intention was to bake products all day long to offer the experience of a product straight from the oven, fresh and crispy no matter the time. Today, their baguettes and pastries are baked directly in the shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success came very quickly, and the concept proved popular, attracting imitators. In seven years, 17 shops were opened, marking a first turning point in their history. And there would be others: the transformation of their image, the construction of a modern and efficient production site in Alleur, and the creation of the \"Atelier Gaufres\". They grew, admittedly rapidly, but always with the same desire to offer quality products with a unique taste and crispness. The figures alone can be dizzying: 140,000 baguettes per month, 20,000 \u00e9clairs, and 600 employees working to satisfy their increasingly demanding clientele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little bakery has become a real institution in the province of Li\u00e8ge. Every neighbourhood has \u00abits\u00bb Point Chaud, a meeting point in the morning for a \u00abhot\u00bb breakfast or at midday to pick up a sandwich, or in the afternoon to enjoy a slice of tart and a coffee. Little by little, they are expanding further from their Li\u00e8ge base: they are present in Namur, Charleroi and Brussels and are planning new openings in the near future. But, no matter how many Point Chauds there are, the recipes will remain authentic and the methods traditional. They have automated some tasks but still work using traditional production methods, thanks to the expertise of their bakers, pastry chefs and brioche makers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot spot<\/a><\/strong> will be present at the \u00c9picuriales event, where their famous \u00absignature baguette\u00bb will be available to sample during meals in the Chefs\u2019 Tent: sourdough bread with all the crunch and softness of the authentic and wonderful French tradition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
