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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
