Rieutort
Rieutort is a winery in Côtes de Gascogne, the southwesternmost appellation of Vin de Pays du Comté Tolosan. The region's warm continental climate and sandy soils produce wines of immediate appeal and food-friendly character. The winery's portfolio centers on white and red blends suited to the terroir. Le Bearon Côtes de Gascogne leads the range, followed by a Colombard–Sauvignon Blanc blend that captures the region's signature aromatic profile: Sauvignon Blanc's herbaceous minerality paired with Colombard's stone-fruit generosity. The Côtes de Gascogne Rouge draws on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—a structure-forward approach to the region's red tradition. Both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated Rieutort's offerings, anchoring the winery within the broader critical conversation around southwestern French wine.
