SOUTH WEST FRANCE WINE

South West France Wines

The vineyards of the South West are a veritable ampelographic museum of the grape varieties from the past, which will delight all wine lovers. The range of grape varieties is impressive: what characterises the wines of the South West is the use of old or rare grape varieties such as Abouriou, Duras, Tannat, Courbu, Fer-Servadou... An ancestral know-how which amazingly combines gastronomy and tradition. The climate is oceanic with Mediterranean influences for the vineyards located further east. On a limestone soil of sedimentary and marly rocks, the vineyards are located on hills with gentle to steep slopes depending on the relief of the Pyrenean foothills or on river valley terraces.
