Cotes de Duras. 14%
This appellation is halfway between Bordeaux and Cahors.
It’s a low acid wine with hints of cumquat or orange. Lots of retained CO2. Certainly doesn’t taste like Semillon/Sauvignon, and its hit 14% in a cold vintage. They can also use Ugni Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Muscadelle and Mauzac – so who knows?
Interesting wine. Drink immediately.
