The wine region of Saint-Mont
South West AOC on the Pyrenean piedmont (Gers, AOC 2011, ~1,250 ha): Tannat signature red king complemented by Pinenc (Fer Servadou), Cabernet Sauvignon and Tardif — signature imposing tannic structure from Tannat, dark robe and exceptional ageing, aromatic finesse of Pinenc with fresh red fruits softening the frame. Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu and Arrufiac in aromatic whites. White clay-limestone soils, Gascon tawny sands, degraded oceanic climate.
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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
