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: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
