The regions of Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées form a veritable mosaic of widely varying vineyards, grouped together as the "Vignobles du Sud-Ouest" (vineyards of the south-west).
From the banks of the Dordogne to the Lot valley, from the Basque country to Gascony and the Agen region, from the south of the Massif Central to the slopes of Tarn, from the land bordering the Garonne to the gates of Toulouse... the vineyards of the south-west are home to the widest selection of individual grape varieties, perpetuating the link between ancient wine-making traditions and the characteristic wines and spirits.
This illustrious inventory, which has passed the threshold of the third millennium, includes no less than 20 appellations d'origine. |
