While the rolling hills of Gascony are best known for the Three Musketeers and fiery spirit we know as Armagnac, this idyllic region of France is home to an increasing number of quality red and white table wines at truly bargain prices. For those of you who want to enjoy the pleasures of Gascon wines, we heartily recommend the Domus Côtes de Gascogne Blanc.
Blended from Colombard and Ugni Blanc (aka Folle Blanche, Trebbiano) grapes, the Domus Blanc is a flavorful, but crisp, clean and delightfully refreshing warm-weather white. It shows zesty, fresh citrus, pear and apricot aromas backed by hints of melon and fresh herbs. The flavors are crisp and bright with surprising depth for such an affordable bottling. Zesty melon and peach fruits are enhanced by elements of almond and citrus. The finish is fresh and clean.
Try this fragrant white as a refreshing aperitif or enjoy it with your favorite finfish, shellfish, poultry or pasta cream sauce dish. Its affordable price and palate-pleasing style make it a wine you will want to enjoy often.
