Description to Béarn AOC
The small AOC area named after the former county in the Middle Ages (largely today's Département Pyrénées-Atlantiques) is located in the south-west corner of south-west France. The wines are produced in three areas. Two coincide with Jurançon and Madiran. The third covers over 200 hectares of vineyards in 13 municipalities around Orthez and Salies-de-Béarn on the edge of the Pyrenees in the Basque Country. This is authorised to use the AOC designation Béarn-Bellocq.
Red wine and rosé are blended from Tannat (maximum 60%), Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc (Bouchy, Couahort, Trouchet), Fer, Manseng Noir and Courbu Noir. The white wines produced in small quantities consist of Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, Courbu Blanc, Lauzet, Camaralet, Raffiat de Moncade and Sauvignon Blanc. Well-known producers are CV de Bellocq, Domaine Bouscassé, Domaine de Guilhémas, Clos Guirouilh and Domaine Larribere.
