Lively and distinctive whites with firm acidity and a lean palate, on typical aromas of green apple, pear, quince, honey, white flowers and waxy notes. Made as dry whites (Gaillac AOC), sweet passito-style wines and especially iconic sparkling wines: Blanquette de Limoux AOC and Blanquette méthode ancestrale AOC (the oldest documented sparkling method, 1531 at Saint-Hilaire). Also in Crémant de Limoux AOC. Native South-West French variety.
AOC from Aveyron (2011) on the steep slopes of the Tarn gorges. Gamay and Syrah (≥30% each) produce fruity, tannic reds with lively notes of red fruits, blackcurrant, violet, pepper and a herbal-spicy touch, firm tannins and altitude freshness. Fer Servadou and Duras add autochthonous structure. Chenin produces taut, floral whites with stone fruits and a mineral edge.
