This vast appellation that is a catch-all for the wines of southwest France that don’t fit into smaller, more established appellations. Cuvee Joelle is a common red blend for the area, with 80 percent Merlot and 20 percent Malbec. This delightful red is fruity and supple, showing bright red fruits and smooth tannins. Meant for easy drinking in the near term. A platinum award-winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
