The wine region of Pyrenées
Atlantic side of South-West France (Pyrenees-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrenees, Gers), AOPs Madiran, Jurancon, Irouleguy, Bearn. Tannat reigns in red: powerful and tannic with blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, leather, tobacco and spiced touch — full-bodied age-worthy wines. Petit and Gros Manseng in star whites: honeyed sweet (Jurancon, candied citrus, pineapple) or lively and exotic dry. Colombard and Cabernet Franc as 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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
