South West
A constellation of small appellations with grape varieties found nowhere else. Cahors malbec makes reds so dark they were once called "black wines"; Madiran's tannat is the most tannic wine in France. Jurançon, meanwhile, produces vivid sweet whites.
On a table or a shelf, the shape alone often gives away the region.
