Les Courtines Grande Reserve

Sweetness: Dry

Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Gros Manseng, Colombard

Grape info: A blend of 60% Sauvignon, 20% Gros Manseng and 20% Colombard. Sauvignon provides its highly aromatic notes of cut grass, nettles and green peppers with a zippy acidity. Gros Manseng adds notes of stone fruit, and citrus while Colombard offers a fresh, lightly floral dimension.

About: The Gascony landscape spreads from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pyrenees Mountains, providing fascinating terroirs. The sun-drenched summers of the South of France promote ripe grapes packed full of aromas. The Atlantic, however, brings chilly ocean breezes and cool nights, adding freshness to the wines. Clay and sandy soils store water from the springtime rainfall, which is then released as the vines grow, enabling them to get through the dry summer months.

Tasting note: Refreshing and intense aromas of lime and white flowers. The palate is brimming with passion fruit, gooseberry and pear drops with a refreshing acidity and lively, floral finish.
