The wine region of Irouléguy
Basque Country AOC (~250 ha, 15 communes, mountain vineyard, red sandstone and schist-limestone): Tannat signature as Pyrenean red king — structured and full-bodied with dark fruits, liquorice and spices, dense tannins softened by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon bringing finesse and suppleness, fleshy and long. Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng and Courbu in aromatic whites with exotic fruits. AOC 1970.
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: Crunchy
A very colorful term to designate a sensation similar to the crunchiness of a grape bursting under the tooth in young and lively wines.
