The wine region of Côtes de Duras
South-West AOC at the gates of Bordeaux (Lot-et-Garonne): signature Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec as king reds — fruity, balanced with cherry, raspberry, black fruit, sweet spice and a fresh touch, round tannins and a gourmand finish, ageing 5-8 years. Signature Sauvignon Blanc in lively, nervy whites (citrus, blackcurrant bud, flowers), Sémillon and Muscadelle as backup. AOC (1937), ~1,500 ha, clay-limestone and boulbènes, oceanic climate.
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
