The wine region of Landes
IGP of the South-West (Landes, ~19,000 hl/year, humid oceanic climate, sandy-acidic to clay-limestone soils): signature Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng as white kings (60%) — dry, fresh, fruity and well-balanced profile with floral and citrus notes. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Tannat in powerful structured reds (25%). Charming and fleshy roses (15%). Warm sunny late seasons favourable to intense aromatic over-ripening.
The wine region of Comté Tolosan
IGP covering all of southwest France across 12 departments, a broad and accessible palette. On the Garonne right bank, supple reds dominate: signature Merlot with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa and a herbaceous touch, round tannins. Firm Cabernet, spicy Syrah, tannic local Tannat. Left bank for whites: vivid Colombard and Gros Manseng (citrus, grapefruit, exotic fruits), aromatic Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
