The wine region of Haut-Montravel
Sweet AOC (~50 ha) of the Bergerac area on the north-facing hillsides above the Dordogne: 100% Sémillon, sweet whites from manual late harvests at low yield on botrytised bunches. Varied soils combining clays, limestone and gravel on terraces, south-facing hillsides and plateau. Oceanic climate with continental influences — alternating humidity and heat encouraging Botrytis cinerea. Rich, round profile — exotic fruits, toast, confit, woody hints and a lively finish.
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: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
