Gassac Blanc

This wine is a blend of various grape varieties including 48% Viognier, 13% Manseng, 13% Chardonnay, 9% Chenin Blanc, and 17% rare varieties such as Marsanne, Roussanne, Petit Courbu, Muscat Petit Grain, Muscat d’Alexandrie, Gros Manseng, Semillon, and Fiano. It offers a youthful fruitiness initially, which evolves into flavors reminiscent of sherry or old Sauternes with an oxidative touch and great finesse over time. The 2022 vintage experienced a cold winter followed by a historically dry summer with consistent heat, until a storm in mid-August brought much-needed rain that enhanced the phenolic ripeness and freshness of the grapes. The wine is aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks and has an ABV of 13.4%.
