Discover the grape variety: Merlot noir
This grape variety most certainly originates from the Bordeaux region and is registered in the Official Catalogue of vine varieties, list A1. According to genetic analyses carried out in Montpellier (Hérault), it is the result of a cross between the magdeleine noire des Charentes and the cabernet franc. It should also be noted that it is the half-brother of the côt or malbec and that it is not the black form of the white merlot, but its resemblance reminds us that it is indeed a descendant.

The wine region of Tursan
Tursan is one of the lesser-known AOCs of southwest France, located in the southeast corner of the Landes department. The name Tursan is mostly used for light, Fruity red and rosé wines, mainly from Cabernet Franc and Tannat, but a small proportion of Complex and Aromatic white wines are also produced here, mainly from Baroque and Gros Manseng. The Vineyards covered by the AOC lie on the western edge of a cluster of better known appellations: Armagnac, Madiran and Côtes de Gascogne IGP, among others. The River Adour forms the northern boundary, while the southern boundary of the AOC is formed by the departmental boundary of the Landes itself.
The wine region of South West
The South-West is a large territorial area of France, comprising the administrative regions of Aquitaine, Limousin and Midi-Pyrénées. However, as far as the French wine area is concerned, the South-West region is a little less clear-cut, as it excludes Bordeaux - a wine region so productive that it is de facto an area in its own right. The wines of the South West have a Long and eventful history. The local rivers play a key role, as they were the main trade routes to bring wines from traditional regions such as Cahors, Bergerac, Buzet and Gaillac to their markets.
