Domaine de Pouy Gascogne Blanc (75cl, 10.5%)

Domaine de Pouy Gascogne Blanc is a crisp, aromatic dry white blend from Côtes de Gascogne, France, bottled at 10.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made by the Grassa family and blends Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Gros Manseng and Sauvignon Blanc. The juice undergoes extended cold skin contact for four to six hours, and the finished blend is bottled fresh around February each year. The nose shows grapefruit, lime zest, green apple, white flowers, straw and crushed stone. On the palate, lemon and lime lead into melon and green apple with chalky minerality. The finish is concise and refreshing with citrus acidity.
