Round, approachable young, easy-drinking wines. Star of Côtes du Marmandais AOC, identity pillar of the appellation alongside cabernet and merlot, also present in Buzet AOC and Fronton AOC. Autochthonous South-West variety from Lot-et-Garonne, rediscovered in the 19th century.

The wine region of Côtes du Marmandais
Sud-Ouest AOC on both banks of the Garonne, Bordeaux-Toulouse confluence. Oceanic climate, clay-limestone and gravel slopes. Signature Abouriou as native early-ripening variety saved after phylloxera: coloured and fruity reds with cherry, raspberry, blackberry, violet and spice, fine tannins. Blended with supple Merlot, firm Cabernet, dense Malbec and peppery Syrah.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
