The wine region of Côtes de Bergerac

Higher hierarchy of the Bergeracois in Périgord: structured complex reds — dominant Merlot blended with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Côt, deep robe, aromas of candied fruits and prune, sturdy tannins suitable for 5-10 years of aging. Sweet generous whites on Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle with notes of honey, candied fruits and apricot, round and fresh palate. Clay-limestone soils, more demanding identity than generic Bergerac.

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: Presses

The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
