Discovering the wine region of Gers
Gascon IGP covering 90% of the Côtes de Gascogne terroir (clay soils, sandy loams and well-draining boulbènes, dual oceanic-meridional influence, thermal amplitude preserving acidity): Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Gros and Petit Manseng as signature indigenous whites — lively and fruity with citrus and exotic fruit aromas, beautiful freshness, dry or semi-sweet. Sauvignon and Chardonnay as complements. Tannat, Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah for balanced reds and rosés.
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.
