Comte Tolosan
Comté-tolosan is a French Indication Géographique Protégée or IGP that encompasses a range of wines from the Southwest of France. Jurançon, Cahors, and even Armagnac can all call Comté-tolosan home. This designation is often used when wines are made outside of AOC appellations or to a different style than allowed for AOC status. Prominent grapes of the region include Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay, Malbec (or Cot as it is called locally), Tannat, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Petit Manseng and Ugni Blanc. Styles vary drastically in this large and diverse region but typically represent everyday wines for weeknight meal pairings.
