Gourmet products local specialties and wines Tarn-Et-Garonne

Here is the main producer of the Vins Noirs du Brulhois, authentic wines of the land, structured, with aromas of candied fruits, jam, leather and tobacco. Their very dark colour comes from this land at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and oceanic influences, as well as from the filtering gravel soils. Recent medals testify to the high quality of the production. But the other rising speciality is the Grain d'Amour, a sweet rosé wine with muscatel aromas.

The Valence farmer's market is an opportunity to stock up on good produce. You can find everything: fruit and vegetables, poultry, local produce, delicatessen, cheese... and even clothes.

The Cave des Vignerons du Quercy was created by a group of producers who wanted to promote the product of their work. Today, it offers a whole range of red, white and rosé wines which seduce by their richness, their roundness and their aromatic palette. The different methods of vinification make them wines of pleasure by nature, whether they are haute couture, exceptional, classic or organic. It is a cooperative on a human scale which brings together 24 producers for 120 hectares of vines spread over the terroirs of the AOP Coteaux du Quercy.

The basket cannot remain empty because the specialities remain unavoidable.

The signature of this wine, dominated by the Cabernet Franc grape variety, is its well marked tannins and notes of red fruit, animal and pepper. But the wines of the Coteaux du Quercy are also available in rosés, pleasantly fruity and in pleasant and balanced red wines. Their quality has been rewarded by obtaining the Appellation d'Origine Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure coteaux du Quercy which is now controlled and defended by a syndicate.

Below the perched village of Puylaroque, the small road that leads to the Ariès estate narrows at a glance. After a final crossroads, two winegrowing areas face each other. On the left, we are in Tarn-et-Garonne in the commune of Puylaroque, on the right in the Lot in the commune of Belfort-de-Quercy, but everywhere in the territory of the coteaux-du-quercy appellation.
