Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Rustic, discreet profile.

The wine region of Saussignac
Bergerac AOC (1982, devoted to noble sweet wines) benefiting from autumn morning mists favouring botrytis cinerea. Sémillon is the king (ideal skins for noble rot), complemented by Sauvignon, Muscadelle and Chenin. Deep golden robe, generous and unctuous: candied aromas of acacia, lime blossom, apricot, peach, quince, mango, gentle spices, honey and vanilla. Successive tries, minimum 18 g/l residual sugar, rich and refined.
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: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
