The wine region of Blanquette de Limoux
France's first sparkling AOC (1938, predating Champagne): Mauzac signature sparkling white king (≥90%, 'blanquette' for white down on leaf underside) complemented by Chenin and Chardonnay — traditional or ancestral method (bottling March descending moon, 100% Mauzac) signatures, light profile with very fine bubbles and typical green apple and pear notes, delicate sweetness. Mediterranean influences and Pyrenean freshness, slow ripening.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
