Discovering the wine region of Agenais
IGP of Lot-et-Garonne (both banks of the Garonne, southern-facing hills on the right bank, northern slopes on the left, balanced oceanic-Toulouse climate). Merlot and Cabernets as Aquitaine signature reds blended with the almost-extinct native Abouriou (phylloxera survivor bringing fine tannins) — lightly fruity profile with well-structured and pleasant tannins. Bouchalès, Côt, Tannat, Syrah and Gamay as complements. Oak-aged versions richer, fleshier and more complex.
Discover the grape variety: Tannat
Powerful, tannic reds with inky colour and dense texture, with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, leather, liquorice and smoky notes. Very high ageing potential and polyphenol content (health reputation). Star of Madiran AOC in Béarn and the national grape of Uruguay (Canelones, Maldonado). Also grown in Irouléguy and Tursan. Late-ripening red variety from south-west France.
