The wine region of Carmelo
Region in south-west Uruguay facing Argentina on the Rio de la Plata, clay-limestone soils, temperate Atlantic climate. Tannat reigns in red (national grape introduced by Basques in the 19th century): more elegant and silky Uruguayan version than Madiran — blackberry, black cherry, plum, earth, herbs, chalk, cocoa, tobacco, liquorice, round and melted tannins. Remarkable Viognier (apricot, peach, white flowers). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Reims Mountain
Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
