The wine region of Côtes du Lot
IGP of the Southwest around Rocamadour and beyond AOP Cahors: Malbec flagship red with notes of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, violet and spice and cocoa touch, but allowing Merlot, Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon. Whites and rosés also produced with fruity and light signature profiles. More accessible and convivial style than Cahors, perfect for simple dishes. IGP, varied Lot terroirs (limestone causses, alluvium), temperate climate.
The wine region of Comté Tolosan
IGP covering all of southwest France across 12 departments, a broad and accessible palette. On the Garonne right bank, supple reds dominate: signature Merlot with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa and a herbaceous touch, round tannins. Firm Cabernet, spicy Syrah, tannic local Tannat. Left bank for whites: vivid Colombard and Gros Manseng (citrus, grapefruit, exotic fruits), aromatic Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Acidity
When present without excess, acidity contributes to the balance of the wine, giving it freshness and nervousness. But when it is very high, it becomes a defect, giving it a biting and green character. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, the wine is soft.
