Straight Ugni Blanc in the blend, more floral Sauvignon and rounder Gros Manseng as complements. A few honeyed sweet wines. Vast Gers IGP (Armagnac), oceanic climate, clay-limestone soils.
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: Size (champagne)
Juices that flow from the press after the cuvée, at the second pressing. Less fine, often more vegetal, it is mainly used to make the first price champagnes.
