Discover the grape variety: Chichaud
Simple and fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and southern herbaceous notes. Rustic, airy profile. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Southwest and is among the heritage varieties being studied. Rare French white grape formerly grown in the Southwest, now nearly extinct.

The wine region of Monbazillac
World's largest sweet AOC south of Bergerac (South-West): signature Sémillon as king white with Sauvignon and Muscadelle — medium-sweet to botrytized sweet wines with opulent notes of honey, candied apricot, quince, pineapple, mango, beeswax, saffron and a touch of spice, unctuousness balanced by fine acidity. Successive picking of noble grapes mandatory. AOC (1936), ~2,320 ha on clay-limestone slopes, morning mists favoring Botrytis cinerea, 10-50 year aging.
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: Balsamic
Aromas reminiscent of balsam, resin, incense, but also vanilla or liquorice wood.
