Duras Coast
The appellation's vineyards Duras Coast  It spans 1,500 hectares, with approximately 65% red and 35% white vineyards cultivated by 72 independent winegrowers and 118 cooperative members. Located near the Bordeaux wine region, this influence is evident in the grape varieties planted: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec for reds; Sauvignon, Sémillon, and Muscadelle for whites. Its connection to the Southwest is evident in the other white grape varieties, such as Ondenc, Mauzac, and Ugni Blanc. 

The subsoil of theDuras vineyard consists of marine and fluvial sediments, such as the heavy, sticky clays known as “Boulbènes” in the lower-lying and southern parts of the vineyard, and marl, molasse, limestone, and clay-limestone at higher elevations. 

Although Duras is known primarily for its red wines, it turns out that excellent white wines are also produced there—and for good reason: the region’s subsoils, composed of molasse and boulbène, are clearly well-suited to the cultivation of white grape varieties.
