Côtes du Tarn IGP refers to wines produced in a small area in the Tarn department of southwestern France; the production zone is situated northeast of the city of Toulouse.

Production is broken down into 55% red, 25% white and 20% rosé. The predominant red is Gamay, the same variety used in Beaujolais; Offering modest tannins, good acidity and light red fruit flavors (cherry, currant, strawberry), these wines are meant to be consumed no more than two or three years after the vintage, and pair well with lighter seafood.

Rosés are also made from Gamay and tend to be light and dry or off-dry, while the whites are produced from Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle and Mauzac, while the are also small percentages of Chardonnay planted in this area. (Wine/Appellations)
