The wine region of Ariege
Departmental IGP from the Pyrenean foothills (alluvial terraces and Tertiary clay-limestone hillsides, <500 m, sunny sub-Mediterranean climate, mild winters, hot dry summers): Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tannat and Pinot Noir as signature assembled reds — supple and easy-drinking with fruity aromas and preserved freshness. Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Gros and Petit Manseng, Mauzac and Chenin for fresh, floral, mineral whites. Fruity, lively, balanced rosés.
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: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
