The wine region of Haut-Montravel
Sweet AOC (~50 ha) of the Bergerac area on the north-facing hillsides above the Dordogne: 100% Sémillon, sweet whites from manual late harvests at low yield on botrytised bunches. Varied soils combining clays, limestone and gravel on terraces, south-facing hillsides and plateau. Oceanic climate with continental influences — alternating humidity and heat encouraging Botrytis cinerea. Rich, round profile — exotic fruits, toast, confit, woody hints and a lively finish.
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: Olfaction
Perception of odours and aromas by the olfactory bulb. Retroolfaction is the same phenomenon inside the mouth via the retronasal route.
