Located in the heart of Gascony in the prestigious Bas-Armagnac area, the 28 ha of vineyards, merged around the cellar, spread over slopes on typical loamy-sand soils called “fawn sand”. This terroir, perfectly suited to white grape production, gives birth there to noble vintage, elegant, full of freshness and liveliness Côtes de Gascogne wines. Rigorous winemaker assessment took place to ascertain the optimum harvest dates for individual plots. Colombard and Gros Manseng grapes are harvested at perfect maturity, while the temperatures are low in anticipation for cold settling, preserving the vibrant fruit flavors. Upon delivery at the winery, the harvest, constantly protected from oxidation, follows a traditional winemaking process: skin-contact maceration; pneumatic pressing; cold settling; cold liquid stabulation during 8 to 10 days; fermentation at low-temperatures to preserve the wine’s bouquet. Tasting Notes: A superb pale gold color with green glints. An aroma of citrus, mandarin, grapefruit. Fine, elegant and fruity, a typical Gascon wine. A crisp taste, possessing great freshness and roundness, giving a perfectly balanced wine. Serving Advice: Ideal as an aperitif and for sheer pleasure. It also makes an excellent partner for starters, seafood, fish and white meats. Dare to taste it with hard cheese, a real delight. Serve chilled at about 10°C. Cellar Potential: Drink within 2 years after bottling.
