The wine region of Montravel
Local AOC of the Bergerac area (Dordogne, clay-limestone and boulbènes): Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle signatures in dry white kings (Sauvignon dominant) — aromatic and mineral with generous structure, marked minerality, residual sugar <=3 g/l. Mandatory Merlot in red king complemented by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Côt — deep robe with black fruits and ripe tannins of remarkable finesse.
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: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
