English to French
Other
Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Hello All,
Helping a friend work on a wine-related project and came across several terms. In the sentence below, I'm not sure which term is used in the wine industry.
As usual, all comments and suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Sentence: The elegant taste is pink flesh dominant complimented by white fruit with notes of currants.
My attempt: Le goût élégant est dominé par la chair rose, complété par des fruits blancs aux notes de groseilles / raisins de Corinthe.

"Ce vin fleuri et parfumé dévoile des notes de groseilles et de baies rouges qui ... Œnologie : les vins de Fronton en rouge et rosé… pour le plaisir évidemment."
"currants" is certainly not the same as the broader category "red fruit". And currants come in 3 varieties :
"Ribes, genus of berry plants, e.g. blackcurrant, redcurrant and whitecurrant"

: That would be 'redcurrants' — without any further qualifier, in EN 'currant' means 'raisin de Corinthe'

English term (edited):
currant
raisin de Corinthe
In EN, if the word currant' is used on its own, with no additional qualifier like 'red-currant' or 'black-currant', then it ONLY ever means this type of currant — the dried fruit, which of course gives a quite different flavour from the 'fresh' varieties of fruit also called '-currants'.

Do also note that the first flavour is complImented by the second one, so not 'complEmented' — i.e. not 'complété', perhaps rather 'agrémenté'?

: Raisins de Corinthe serait traduit par "raisins" et fairait référence à un arôme terciaire du vin. Je doute que ce soit la traduction. Il s'agit sans doute de la traduction d'un vin jeune.

fruits des bois
"Currants" est un terme général de dégustation en oenologie. Il fait référence aux arômes primaires d'un vin au deuxième ou troisième nez et se traduit par fruits des bois (cassis, groseille, etc.). Ce type d'arômes est présent dans les cépages de Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah Il ne s'agit surtout pas de raisins secs!
