Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and floral notes. An airy profile with light colour, very rare. Preserved for its heritage value, it survives in a few confidential plots within Gaillac AOC and Limoux AOC. A dark-skinned mutation of Mauzac Blanc, an indigenous French variety from the South-West studied for its genetic interest.

The wine region of Vin de Pays

Intermediate category between AOC and Vin de France (renamed IGP in 2009), 27% of national volume. Accessible, expressive wines defined by their grape: opulent Chardonnay, lively Sauvignon, round Merlot, peppery Syrah, floral Viognier with apricot. 76 IGP in France at 3 scales: regional (Pays d'Oc, Méditerranée, Val de Loire), departmental or local. Flexible rules, wide range of permitted grapes, free grape and vintage labelling.

The wine region of Pays d'Oc

The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.

The word of the wine: Bleeding

Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
