Description to Côtes de Millau AOC
The appellation, named after the commune, is located in the wine-growing region of south-west France (sometimes called Languedoc ). The former VDQS area was classified as an AOC in 2012. The conquest of the Protestant fortress of Compeyre by the troops of Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642) in 1633 initiated the decline of viticulture. After successful reconstruction, the stocks were again extremely reduced by the phylloxera disaster. The vineyards cover 60 hectares of vines in 17 communes of the Aveyron department. They extend in the narrow valley of the Tarn on southern slopes 80 river kilometres to the west.
The red wine is blended from the Gamay and/or Syrah varieties (at least 30%), as well as Fer Servadou, Duras and a maximum of 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The rosé wine must contain at least 50% Gamay and must be partly produced using the saignée method. The white wine is made from the Chenin Blanc and Mauzac Blanc varieties. Well-known producers are Domaine du Vieux Noyer and Peysier.
