Details and technical informations about Domaine Moulin de Paillo's Côtes de Duras Sauvignon.
Discover the grape variety: Merlot blanc
Simple, fresh dry whites, with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its patrimonial value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Bordeaux region. Rare French white variety, with no genetic link to red Merlot despite the name.

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: Terroir
Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
