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: Véraison
A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
