Natural factors
- A vast limestone plateau of Tertiary age, lying between 60 m and 100 m in elevation, bounded by the Dordogne to the north and the Garonne to the south. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Pyrenean alluvial deposits (Garonne) and those from the Massif Central (Dordogne): sands, gravels, and clays laid down during the Tertiary and Quaternary periods.
- 133 communes in the Gironde; hillsides dissected by numerous watercourses, with south- and west-facing slopes on stony soils planted with vines. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Terroir / wine link
- The affinity between grape variety and soil allows the white wines to express white flowers, citrus, and exotic fruits, while the reds show red fruits and mentholated notes.
