Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, barely noticeable tannins and a supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry, strawberry), soft spices and floral notes. A rustic airy profile to drink young. Often blended with Abouriou, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it contributes to the AOC Côtes-du-Marmandais reds and reflects the South-West heritage. Native French black grape from the South-West (Côtes-du-Marmandais, Buzet).

The word of the wine: Ugni blanc

White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
