The place

Sud-Ouest

Inland from Bordeaux, the South West is a refuge for grapes found almost nowhere else: inky Tannat in Madiran, dark Malbec in Cahors, the Mansengs of Jurançon and the great Gaillac region, bastion of forgotten old native and resistant grapes rebirth. Bold reds, distinctive sweet and dry whites, and a wealth of small organic estates reviving native varieties. ~47,000 ha.
