Grape variety recommendations for Southern Gironde on sandy and alios soils, by F
Vassilière in 1892.
Carménère and Merlot for the finest terroirs.
For other terroirs, Folle blanche or Savagnin for whites, Folle rouge (Jurançon noir), Fer and Pignon (Pardotte).
Apart from Folle blanche, we have replanted all these grape varieties at Cazebonne. Looking forward to vinifying them starting this year.
