Discover the grape variety: Tannat
Tannat is a red grape variety from Béarn which belongs to the cotoïdes family. Present in several vineyards of France, it occupies nearly 3,000 ha. Its leaves are reddish with tan patches. Its bunches are either of normal size or larger. Its berries have a thin skin and are rounded. Its foliage has a swarthy appearance. This variety must be pruned long because it is vigorous. It likes sandy and gravelly soils. Tannat is often exposed to leafhoppers and mites. It is also somewhat susceptible to grey rot. It has 11 approved clones, including 474, 717 and 794. Once mature, this variety produces acidic, fruity, tannic, acidic and full-bodied wines. Various aromas emerge, notably tobacco, cinnamon and exotic wood. Tannat is rarely used alone. It is combined with iron-servadou to obtain a fruitier taste or with cabernet sauvignon to be more rounded.

The wine region of Tursan
Tursan is one of the lesser-known AOCs of southwest France, located in the southeast corner of the Landes department. The name Tursan is mostly used for light, Fruity red and rosé wines, mainly from Cabernet Franc and Tannat, but a small proportion of Complex and Aromatic white wines are also produced here, mainly from Baroque and Gros Manseng. The Vineyards covered by the AOC lie on the western edge of a cluster of better known appellations: Armagnac, Madiran and Côtes de Gascogne IGP, among others. The River Adour forms the northern boundary, while the southern boundary of the AOC is formed by the departmental boundary of the Landes itself.
The wine region of South West
The South-West is a large territorial area of France, comprising the administrative regions of Aquitaine, Limousin and Midi-Pyrénées. However, as far as the French wine area is concerned, the South-West region is a little less clear-cut, as it excludes Bordeaux - a wine region so productive that it is de facto an area in its own right. The wines of the South West have a Long and eventful history. The local rivers play a key role, as they were the main trade routes to bring wines from traditional regions such as Cahors, Bergerac, Buzet and Gaillac to their markets.
The word of the wine: Primeur (wine)
A wine made to be drunk very young, bottled and marketed very soon after fermentation (about two months). Syn.: new.
