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. |
