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.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
