The 1941 map by Louis Larmat, depicting the Bordeaux subregions of Loupiac, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, and Saint-Macaire, is a richly detailed cartographic work that highlights the unique viticultural identity of these lesser-known yet historically significant appellations on the right bank of the Garonne River. As part of Larmat’s renowned series of maps dedicated to France’s great wine regions, this particular piece reflects his dedication to precision, terroir analysis, and visual elegance.

Situated opposite the famed Sauternes region, Loupiac, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, and Saint-Macaire are known for their sweet white wines, produced from grape varieties such as Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. The map carefully delineates the vineyard zones in each area, showing their topographical contours, soil types, and proximity to the Garonne, which plays a crucial role in creating the misty conditions necessary for noble rot (Botrytis cinerea)—the key to producing these lush, aromatic wines.

Larmat’s cartographic skill is evident in the clear demarcation of vineyard plots, the elegant typography, and illustrative symbols representing châteaux and wine-producing estates. The map not only outlines geographic and administrative boundaries but also reflects the rich viticultural history of this part of Bordeaux, which, while often overshadowed by more famous names, has contributed meaningfully to the region’s wine legacy.

Artistic yet scientifically precise, the map balances form and function, intended to serve both wine professionals and enthusiasts. It embodies the spirit of mid-20th-century French oenology—an era increasingly attentive to terroir and appellation-specific quality.

Today, this 1941 Larmat map stands as both a historical artifact and educational tool, offering a window into the traditions, landscapes, and craftsmanship of Bordeaux’s sweet wine heartland. It remains a testament to the enduring legacy of these charming, characterful appellations.
