The wine region of Côtes de Millau
AOC from Aveyron (2011) on the steep slopes of the Tarn gorges. Gamay and Syrah (≥30% each) produce fruity, tannic reds with lively notes of red fruits, blackcurrant, violet, pepper and a herbal-spicy touch, firm tannins and altitude freshness. Fer Servadou and Duras add autochthonous structure. Chenin produces taut, floral whites with stone fruits and a mineral edge.
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
