Duras ribs
The vineyards of the appellation Duras ribs  covers 1,500 hectares, with around 65% red and 35% white grapes grown by 72 independent winegrowers and 118 cooperative winegrowers. Located close to the Bordeaux vineyards, this influence can be seen in the grape varieties planted: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec for reds, and Sauvignon, Sémillon, and Muscadelle for whites. The region's affiliation with the South-West is reflected in other white grape varieties such as Ondenc, Mauzac and Ugni Blanc. 

The subsoil of theDuras vineyard is composed of marine and fluvial sediments such as heavy, sticky clays known as Boulbènes in the lower and southern parts of the vineyard, and marl, molasses, limestone, and clay-limestone higher up. 

Although Duras wines are known for their reds, which make up the majority of production, it turns out that excellent white wines are also produced here, and for good reason: the region's molasses and boulbène subsoils are obviously conducive to the cultivation of white grape varieties.
