The Sud-Ouest region offers great value alternatives to other more prestigious regions, as well as diverse, unusual blends and tastes. From the dark, full-bodied traditional red wines of Château du Cèdre Cahors and Château Pibaron Bandol, to the rich butternut and floral white wine of Château Les Tourettes Vin de Pays de Vaucluse and the clean, dry, slightly austere Domaine Terres Blanches Blanc de Blancs, or the full-flavored, fruity and dry Rosés of Château La Canorgue, Canto Perdrix Tavel or Bergerie de L'Hortus —except for our highly-allocated Bandol—the bottle price averages under $20.00. The wide variety of red grapes and blends available in this region used in red and rosé wines, range from Merlot and Malbec, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. The white wine grapes include Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc and Rolle, Viognier and Rousanne. These well-produced and affordable table wines are simple, basic and flavorful. Perfect for everyday consumption, these are high quality wines that come from such artisan perfectionists, such as Jean-Marie Geffen, who went beyond the Chardonnay grape to create the unequaled Château Les Tourettes, blended from Viognier and Rousanne grapes.
