Cotes du Marmandais wines from South West France

The Cotes du Marmandais is a small VDQS wine appellation in Southwest France centred on the town of Marmande. It is south of the Côtes de Duras AC and west of the Buzet appellation.

Its wines follow the style of those to the east of Bordeaux in favouring Merlot and Cabernets for the reds and rosé wines in addition to the local varieties of Abouriou and Fer; Muscadelle, Sauvignon and Semillon for the whites.

These tend to be good everyday wines, although some excellent oaked reds are produced by the local co-operative - Cave du Marmandais - Cuvée Perbos being one which has been exceptionally good.
