The wine region of Pécharmant
Bergerac AOC north of the Dordogne, right bank (south-facing semicircle, ~400 ha): signature blend of Merlot (41%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Cabernet Franc (16%) and Malbec (7%) as the exclusive red king — dense dark robe, aromas of black fruit (cassis, blackberry), vanilla and spice notes, ample mouth rich in tannins, generous and well-structured, 15-20 year ageing. Sand and gravel of the Périgord over ferruginous "Tran", Massif Central.
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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
