"As most shrewd readers know, Cotes de Gascogne whites can
offer excellent value. Most of them are made from a
combination of grapes, in this case, 80% Colombard and the
rest equal parts Ugni Blanc and Gros Manseng. Crisp, elegant,
honeyed grapefruit notes intermixed with some lemon zest and
orange rind offer up loads of fruit in this medium-bodied,
naked wine, which is completely unoaked and exuberant. Drink
it over the next year."

covering the northwestern part of the department of Gers and
the southern part of Lot-et-Garonne. Together the three areas
form a single region where Armagnac, Côtes de Gascogne and
Floc de Gascogne, which share the same AOC-limits, can be
produced.

Fruity aromas of quince, plum, orange with
floral scents and notes of vanilla, spice.
