The wine region of Aveyron
IGP of the southern Massif Central (around Millau and the Causses, terraces at 300-600 m, limestone and iron-oxide-rich rougier soils, high-altitude continental climate with strong thermal amplitude). Mansois (Fer Servadou) is the indigenous signature red (>=90% in AOP) — ruby robe with spiced notes of blackcurrant and sometimes menthol, freshness preserved by altitude. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Prunelard as complements. Neighbouring Marcillac and Estaing.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
