The wine region of Bergerac Sec
Dry white AOC of South Périgord: signature dominant Sauvignon Blanc blended with Sémillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle (≥75% main varieties) — lively, fresh whites with pale gold robe, delicate nose of apricot, peach, citrus and white flowers, aromatic palate with crisp attack and good length. Clay-limestone and boulbène soils, temperate South-West climate. Accessible alternative to white Bordeaux, drink young with seafood, grilled fish and goat cheeses.
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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
