The wine region of Coteaux du Quercy
Southwest AOP between Cahors and Montauban (Lot, Tarn-et-Garonne, argilo-calcareous causses, double Atlantic and Mediterranean influence): Cabernet Franc as the signature red king (40–60%), complemented by Côt, Merlot, Tannat and sometimes Gamay — profile of red fruits (raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant) lifted by floral and peppery notes, fleshy palate with a supple attack, round and structured tannins, fruity and generous expression typical of the limestone plateaux.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
