The wine region of Tursan
AOC of the French South-West (Landes, Gers) at the Pyrenean foothills along the Adour bends, temperate oceanic climate. Baroque is the exclusive signature white: aromatic and lively with citrus, yellow apple, pear, white flowers and a honeyed touch. Gros and Petit Manseng complement. Tannat is the signature firm structured red (blackberry, blackcurrant, leather, spices), powerful tannins, blended with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Fer Servadou.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Botrytis cinerea
This fungus, also called noble rot, develops during the over-ripening phase and is an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
