Details and technical informations about Domaine de la Curguetie's Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Couston
Light and simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct in commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties under study. Rare French black grape, once grown in the South-West.

Bergerac AOC north of the Dordogne, right bank (south-facing semicircle, ~400 ha): signature blend of Merlot (41%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Cabernet Franc (16%) and Malbec (7%) as the exclusive red king — dense dark robe, aromas of black fruit (cassis, blackberry), vanilla and spice notes, ample mouth rich in tannins, generous and well-structured, 15-20 year ageing. Sand and gravel of the Périgord over ferruginous "Tran", Massif Central.
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: Bitter
Normal for certain young red wines rich in tannin, bitterness is in other cases a defect due to a bacterial disease.
