The Quercy sits just north of Cahors in Southwest France, a gently rolling, limestone-driven landscape where warm days are tempered by cooler nights and breezes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValérie Courrèges came to the region after working as an oenologist in Provence, ultimately planting her flag in Cahors and the surrounding Quercy because she found the kind of old-vine terroir she’d been searching for. Today she’s part of the exciting new wave here, bringing a precise, low-intervention sensibility and a strong commitment to farming in a more holistic direction, including organic and biodynamic work in the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Zinzolin” Vin de France 2021 is her freer, more playful red, and the name itself nods to an old-fashioned word for a deep red-purple hue. It’s an assemblage of 40% Malbec, 30% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot, drawn from hillside vineyards on marl and limestone. The lots are vinified separately with native yeasts in small concrete tanks, with gentle extraction and a cuvaison that can range roughly 9 to 21 days, then aged about 12 months in concrete and stoneware jars, with no fining and no filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it’s vivid and juicy with dark berry and plum fruit, a hint of spice, and a fresh, food-ready structure. Reach for it with a classic pâté en croûte, or for the perfect kebab pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valérie Courreges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118770839605,"sku":"courregeszinzolin21","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1835\/0685\/files\/PXL_20260421_213110727.jpg?v=1776808226","url":"https:\/\/permanwine.com\/products\/valerie-courreges-zinzolin-vin-de-france-21","provider":"Perman Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
