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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
