A terroir to be explored
Between the Atlantic Coast and the Lot Valley, the South West wine region is one of the most diverse areas of France and one whose isolation has helped to preserve its oenological riches intact. In order to penetrate its mysteries, it is necessary to venture into the wine estates and meet the winemakers, who will extol the virtues of Ondenc, Mauzac or Auxerrois.
It is this very diversity that gives rise to some soft and fruity wines, and others that are extremely rich and complex.
