Here’s one we weren’t meant to get. One of the airlines had snatched up this delicious wine, but then of course didn’t need it. So we stepped in and grabbed it for our mofos. It’s sauv blanc from Gascogne, a region in southwest Frane that borders upon Spain and the Atlantic. It’s perhaps most famous for being the home of Cyrano de Bergerac and d’Artagnan, but we’re here today for the wine. There’s pears, peaches and some flintiness on the nose. On the palate it is a completely dry wine, but has a certain richness with hints of honey, compote and some citrus to contrast. It’s super lively with a nice balance of fruit sweetness (yet in a dry wine) and minerality. Alexandre Dumas would be enthralled.
