Grape: 80% Colombard, 20% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: France> South-West> Côtes-de-Gascogne
This profile describes a classic, crisp Côtes de Gascogne white blend that relies on grapes like Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Gros Manseng to deliver its signature bright acidity and vibrant aromatics. To preserve maximum freshness and prevent oxidation, the grapes are night-harvested, subjected to short skin-contact maceration, and pressed using inert gas. Low-temperature fermentation followed by maturation on the fine lees enhances both the fruit aromatics and the overall mouthfeel. On the palate, this lively and crisp wine bursts with refreshing notes of citrus and exotic fruits, making it ideal for consumption within two years of production. It serves as an excellent aperitif and pairs beautifully with delicate or savory dishes, including sea bass carpaccio, shrimp and goat cheese spring rolls, or a flavorful thyme and feta focaccia.
