The South-West France wine region (Sud-Ouest) is one of France’s historic wine-growing areas, located between the Atlantic Ocean, the Pyrenees Mountains, and the Massif Central. The region stretches along the valleys of the Dordogne, Garonne, and Adour rivers, with a landscape shaped by steep hillsides, valleys, and highly diverse soils.
The climate of South-West France is notably varied. Atlantic freshness, continental influences, and southern warmth converge here, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while retaining good acidity, aromatic clarity, and natural balance. The soils are dominated by limestone, clay, and gravel, contributing to structure and ageing potential in the wines.

The region is known for its indigenous grape varieties and strong sense of terroir. It produces structured and expressive red wines from ‘Malbec’, ‘Tannat’, and ‘Négrette’, as well as elegant and aromatic white wines from ‘Gros Manseng’, ‘Petit Manseng’, and ‘Sauvignon Blanc’. A special place is also held by sweet wines made from naturally ripe or botrytised grapes.
Today, the South-West of France is regarded as one of the most interesting and still relatively undiscovered alternatives to the country’s more famous wine regions, valued for its authenticity, diversity, and strong regional character.
