The wine region of Cite de Carcassonne
Aude IGP around the medieval city (~3,000 ha, 20 communes): Mediterranean and Atlantic blends — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Carignan as ruling reds with signature red and black fruits, spice and typical garrigue notes. Chardonnay, Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier as whites with fresh, floral and fruity profiles. IGP, dual climate (Mediterranean breezes tempered by the Atlantic Cers wind).
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
