The wine region of Aveyron
IGP of the southern Massif Central (around Millau and the Causses, terraces at 300-600 m, limestone and iron-oxide-rich rougier soils, high-altitude continental climate with strong thermal amplitude). Mansois (Fer Servadou) is the indigenous signature red (>=90% in AOP) — ruby robe with spiced notes of blackcurrant and sometimes menthol, freshness preserved by altitude. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Prunelard as complements. Neighbouring Marcillac and Estaing.
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
