Côtes du Tarn

IGP Côtes du Tarn is an appellation whose geographical area lies north of Toulouse, in the South-West region of France. The PGI label replaced the former Vin de Pays des Côtes du Tarn appellation in 2009. The Côtes du Tarn PGI may be followed by a more specific geographical indication: "Cunac" or "Cabanes".

The terroir of the Côtes du Tarn PGI is made up of stony, gravelly soils, with the vines growing on the hills of the Tarn. The climate of the Côtes du Tarn PGI is essentially oceanic in winter and spring, with Mediterranean influences in other seasons.

A relatively large number of grape varieties are authorized for Côtes du Tarn rosé and red wines, but Gamay is mainly used for the latter. Côtes du Tarn PGI red wines are light and harmonious. IGP white wines are dry and lively, made mainly from Sauvignon, Muscadelle, Mauzac or Chardonnay grapes, although others are permitted.
