The wine region of Madiran
South-West capital of age-worthy reds at the foot of the Pyrenees: signature Tannat as king red (60-80%) — black robe and powerful profile with notes of raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, spices, liquorice, undergrowth and a leather touch, signature dense and nervy tannins, firm structure and 10-30 years ageing softening to velvet. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as backup. AOC (1948) over Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, clay-limestones and silico-clays.
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: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
