Colourful, structured reds with a deep purple robe, firm, tight tannins and an ample palate with preserved acidity, featuring signature aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), red pepper and herbaceous notes typical of the Cabernet family. Age-worthy profile. Almost gone from commercial cultivation, preserved in varietal collections for its great genetic value. French autochthonous black variety from the South-West, parent of Carménère (crossed with Cabernet Franc).

The wine region of Monbazillac

World's largest sweet AOC south of Bergerac (South-West): signature Sémillon as king white with Sauvignon and Muscadelle — medium-sweet to botrytized sweet wines with opulent notes of honey, candied apricot, quince, pineapple, mango, beeswax, saffron and a touch of spice, unctuousness balanced by fine acidity. Successive picking of noble grapes mandatory. AOC (1936), ~2,320 ha on clay-limestone slopes, morning mists favoring Botrytis cinerea, 10-50 year aging.

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.
