Discovering the wine region of Côtes de Millau

Côtes de Millau is the easternmost of the appellations associated with the wine region of southwest France. The vineyards are located on steep, terraced slopes in the Deep, gorge-like Tarn valley in the Aveyron department. Light, supple red wines made from Gamay and Syrah are the most important wines produced here, although the appellation also covers white and rosé wines. The Côtes de Millau watershed covers 17 communes in the Tarn valley.

Here the river has cut a path through the limestone plateau over time and, while the surrounding areas in the southern parts of the Massif Central are too cold for viticulture, the mesoClimates in the gorge make viticulture possible. The boundaries of the Côtes de Millau appellation are closer to the Mediterranean Sea than to the Atlantic, and the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region Lies just east of the area. A mountain range separating the region from the coast means that the climate is largely continental, certainly more so than in many other south-western appellations. Temperatures are moderate throughout the year, as the area is sheltered within the gorges from the strong northerly winds.

The word of the wine: Presses

The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
