Comme l'Auxerrois (Malbec) ne vient pas d'Auxerre, le Duras ne vient pas de Duras ... mais du Tarn. D'après Robert Plageoles, il serait issu d'une lambrusque (vigne sauvage) de la forêt domaniale de la Grésigne (Tarn). Devenu obligatoire en appellation Gaillac en 1970, il a réussi à être sauvé de la disparition (il n'en restait alors que 70 hectares). Il est introuvable en dehors de cette AOC, même à Duras...
Une analyse ADN a permis de connaître la vraie origine de ce cépage : c'est un croisement Tressot X Savagnin (le Tressot est un cépage noir de la région d'Auxerre). On suppose qu'il a suivi la route de Compostelle, comme d'autres cépages et marchandises (on retrouve par exemple le Trousseau au nord de l'Espagne et au Portugal). On comprend en tout cas mieux le profil fin/tendu de ce vin, très différent des autres cépages du Sud-Ouest.

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
