The wine region of Montravel
Local AOC of the Bergerac area (Dordogne, clay-limestone and boulbènes): Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle signatures in dry white kings (Sauvignon dominant) — aromatic and mineral with generous structure, marked minerality, residual sugar <=3 g/l. Mandatory Merlot in red king complemented by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Côt — deep robe with black fruits and ripe tannins of remarkable finesse.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
