The wine region of Bergerac Sec
Dry white AOC of South Périgord: signature dominant Sauvignon Blanc blended with Sémillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle (≥75% main varieties) — lively, fresh whites with pale gold robe, delicate nose of apricot, peach, citrus and white flowers, aromatic palate with crisp attack and good length. Clay-limestone and boulbène soils, temperate South-West climate. Accessible alternative to white Bordeaux, drink young with seafood, grilled fish and goat cheeses.
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: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
