SOUTH WEST<br />
– WINE ROUTE –<br />
ON THE GILBERT & GAILLARD WINE ROUTE<br />
in South-West France<br />
At one end of the scale are the red wines of Cahors, on the other the sweet whites<br />
of Monbazillac. Between the two is a plethora of wine styles that are as refined and<br />
varied as the local gastronomy. Bergerac, Madiran, Gaillac, Fronton, Pacherenc<br />
du Vic-Bilh and Saint-Mont – the appellations of South-West France showcase their<br />
native grape varieties. Take a trip away from the well-trodden wine routes and meet<br />
the growers who push the boundaries with Tannat, Malbec and Braucol. From the<br />
co-operative wineries to the independent producers, we are taking you on an allnew<br />
wine route across South-West France to meet our favourite local producers.<br />
