The wine region of Saint-Sardos
Southwest AOC (Tarn-et-Garonne, 2011) between Toulouse and Montauban, the only French appellation pairing Syrah and Tannat as main varieties. Syrah (≥40%) brings blackberry, violet, pepper and garrigue, velvety tannins. Tannat (≥20%) adds intense dark fruit, liquorice and a smoky note, firm tannins and ageing potential. Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Gamay complement.
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.
