Description
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Harvested at peak ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed before undergoing a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, ensuring maximum aromatic intensity and freshness. By vinifying each varietal separately, the winemakers fine-tune the balance between Sauvignon Blanc’s zesty citrus, Colombard’s crisp acidity, and Gros Manseng’s delicate exotic fruit notes. The absence of oak allows the wine’s natural vibrancy to shine, delivering a pure, expressive taste of Gascogne’s unique terroir.
Vintage The 2023 vintage in Côtes de Gascogne overcame early-season storms and heavy spring rainfall. Downy mildew and hailstorms lowered yields, but sandy, well-drained soils mitigated excess moisture, preserving grape quality. From mid-July, warm days and cool nights aided slow ripening of Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard, and Gros Manseng, enhancing aromatic intensity. By late August, the harvest unfolded under ideal conditions, delivering a vintage that balances freshness, bright acidity, and the hallmark vibrancy of Gascogne whites.
Pairing Logic This refined Vin Blanc is an excellent choice for both intricate and comforting dishes, thanks to its vibrant citrus and tropical fruit character. Its layered aromatics and refreshing finish highlight the flavors of jasmine rice, Thai green curry, or white fish, while its substantial body allows it to stand up to creamy chicken preparations. With a seamless balance of brightness and depth, this wine enhances both fresh, herbaceous ingredients and richer, savory elements.
