AOC Côtes de Montravel wines awarded at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge

A.O.C./A.O.P.

the Côtes de Montravel and Haut Montravel appellation areas share the same location as Montravel. It is widely held that there is little difference between the two; the only reason there are two names is apparently because of a local feud. The vines are planted on a plateau and calcareous clay hillside sites. The climate is defined predominantly by the ocean, with the moderating influence of the Dordogne. Only white grape varieties are grown here: Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle.

Grape varieties: Vins blancs doux :  sémillon, sauvignon, muscadelle

The wines of this appellation

both appellations produce sweet or noble-rotted wines which display an unctuous attack, are harmonious, rich, complex and have good cellaring capacity. Some of the them can also be labelled as Bergerac moelleux. Predominant aromas are crystallised fruit, orange peel and lemon. They are suitable as appetisers, with fish served in a sauce and parsley-flavoured cheeses.

Climate-fit vines: How South African producers are planning for a drought-resilient future
The irony of our time is that we believe it's us who are evolving – integrating AI, refining systems, improving what exists. Yet nature's intelligence runs deeper, and the vine has been perfecting survival far longer than we've been trying to improve it.

Cognac stands firm
Since 2020 and the onset of the pandemic, the Cognac industry has been rocked by one crisis after another. Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
