The wine region of Saint-Mont
South West AOC on the Pyrenean piedmont (Gers, AOC 2011, ~1,250 ha): Tannat signature red king complemented by Pinenc (Fer Servadou), Cabernet Sauvignon and Tardif — signature imposing tannic structure from Tannat, dark robe and exceptional ageing, aromatic finesse of Pinenc with fresh red fruits softening the frame. Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu and Arrufiac in aromatic whites. White clay-limestone soils, Gascon tawny sands, degraded oceanic climate.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
