The wine region of Marcillac
Aveyron AOC in the Rouergue (200 ha north-west of Rodez, iron-oxide-rich "rougiers", clay-limestone soils, continental/oceanic/Mediterranean crossroads): Fer Servadou (local Mansois) is king in reds (≥80%, often 100%) — powerfully aromatic and spicy with red and black fruits, peppery and herbaceous notes, distinctive powerful tannins; the grape grown almost exclusively here. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as complements. AOC 1990.
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: Oenology
The science of the oenologist, which is essentially concerned with the elaboration and maturation of wines.
