Saint-Mont VDQS
Saint-Mont VDQS is a wine appellation in the South West region of France. The appellation is located in the Gers department and is named after the town of Saint-Mont. The wines produced in this region are primarily red and rosé, made from Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of wine production in Saint-Mont dates back to the Roman times. The region was granted Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (VDQS) status in 1981, which was a step below Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) but above Vin de pays. However, in 2011, the VDQS system was abolished and Saint-Mont was elevated to AOC status.
Viticulture and Winemaking[edit | edit source]
The vineyards of Saint-Mont are planted on the rolling hills of the region, with a climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, which contribute to the structure and complexity of the wines.
The red and rosé wines of Saint-Mont are made from a blend of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional vinification methods, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels.
Wine Styles and Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The red wines of Saint-Mont are known for their deep color, robust tannins, and flavors of dark fruit and spice. They are typically full-bodied and have the potential to age well.
The rosé wines are lighter in style, with fresh acidity and flavors of red fruit. They are typically consumed young and served chilled.
