The wine region of Côtes de Montravel
AOC for medium-sweet whites in Bergerac (Dordogne), on slopes extending those of Saint-Émilion and Castillon: predominantly Sémillon blended with Sauvignon and Muscadelle—lively, mineral and long on the palate. Pale gold, with ripe white fruits, citrus and honeyed notes, measured residual sugar balanced by freshness. Sandy-gravelly clay soils at rather acidic pH on terraces bordering the Dordogne, low fertility and good drainage. Temperate oceanic climate moderated by the river.
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: Mineral
Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
