The wine region of Gard

Vast Languedoc IGP between Costières and Camargue (Gard): signature Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault as reds and rosés — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, strawberry, raspberry, garrigue, spice and a peppery touch (Camargue gris rosés emblematic on sand). Floral whites from Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier and Vermentino. IGP, ~25,000 ha across 24 communes, sunny Mediterranean climate, cleansing mistral.

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: Malolactic fermentation

Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
