The wine region of Guyenne
Atlantic IGP of the Southwest across 5 departments (Gironde, Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne, Landes, Pyrénées-Atlantiques). Bordeaux varieties as signatures. Merlot in red: supple and accessible with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, light cocoa and a herbaceous touch, round tannins and fruity palate — affordable alternative to Bordeaux AOCs. Peppery Cabernet Franc, firm Cabernet Sauvignon, dense Côt.
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.
