New Cotes de Gascogne

We taste a lot of wine, and we taste a lot of mediocre wine, especially from Gascogne.    Many are just water downed and have no character. We were shocked at the quality of this wine.  For $10, this is your go to patio pounder.

Pick up a case of this one, you will not be sorry.

 



2013 Blanc 32 Cotes de Gascogne....$9.99

35% Sauvignon Blanc
25% Colombard
25% Ugni Blanc
15% Gros Manseg
Great wines start with extraordinary terroir. Terroir can be very loosely translated as "a sense of place," which is embodied in certain characteristic qualities, the sum of the effects that the local environment has had on the production of the wine. Great terrior is the essence of both Noir 46 and Blanc 32 where the true expression of the wines are grounded in their historical beginnings.

From the ancient lush fields and forests in the rugged land of Gascony, comes this delicious French white wine blend. The region is renowned for it's authentic culinary pleasures that were once enjoyed by celebrated devotes of the region, The Three Musketeers and King Henry the Great. These fertile rolling hillside vineyards produce the luscious grapes that create the wonderful Blanc 32 cuvee.
