Discovering the wine region of Estaing
Estaing is an appellation covering red, white and rosé wines from a small region in southwestern France, in the Aveyron department. The vineyards, which cover the south-facing slopes of the Lot valley, produce a light, supple red wine made mainly from Fer and Gamay grapes. Rosé wines made from Gamay and Delicate white wines made from Chenin Blanc are also produced. The appellation covers three villages - Coubisou, Sebrazac and Estaing - which lie aLong the Truyère, a small tributary of the Lot.
Situated in the rather isolated wine region of Aveyron, north-east of the more famous Gascony appellations of Cahors and Madiran, Estaing has only two company appellations: Entraygues - Le Fel and Marcillac. Estaing - situated on the southern edge of the lower Massif Central mountain range - has a relatively high altitude which amplifies the continental Climate of the region, with hot, Dry summers and very cold winters. The vineyards are located on south-facing slopes at an average altitude of 300 metres above sea level, giving them excellent exposure to the sun throughout the growing season. The long, mild autumns ensure a long ripening period, and rainfall is concentrated in winter and spring.
