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: Bold
A wine with a smooth texture reminiscent of fats.
