Saint-Mont wine

Wines are produced under the VDQS designation Saint-Mont and the area's vineyards are part of the South West France wine region. This VDQS, created in 1981, was previously called Côtes de Saint-Mont, before the name was changed in 2007.[2] In 2011, following the abolition of the VDQS system, the wine was granted AOP status [3]

The vineyards have a surface of 785 hectares, the VDQS designation is only valid for delimited vineyards where red, rosé and white wines are produced.

For red and rosé wine: Tannat, Fer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc.

For white wine: Arrufiac, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, Courbu, Clairette Blanche.

The soil is mainly siliceous earth, clay and sand.

gollark: For the consumer, I mean.
gollark: Monopolies never go well.
gollark: Or none.
gollark: I prefer using Linuxen, which on the one hand tend to suffer this less but on the other often get less support.
