The wine region of Côtes de Duras
South-West AOC at the gates of Bordeaux (Lot-et-Garonne): signature Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec as king reds — fruity, balanced with cherry, raspberry, black fruit, sweet spice and a fresh touch, round tannins and a gourmand finish, ageing 5-8 years. Signature Sauvignon Blanc in lively, nervy whites (citrus, blackcurrant bud, flowers), Sémillon and Muscadelle as backup. AOC (1937), ~1,500 ha, clay-limestone and boulbènes, oceanic climate.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
