Winemaker Notes
The 2017 vintage in Gascony was early, but full of sunshine and heat. Inspite of the warm temperatures, the humidity remained stable thanks to steady rains during the year. There-fore, the yield is a bit lower than usual, but the resulting grapes were fully concentrated, with some freshness thanks to the August cooler temperatures. The vintage is refreshing, zesty and full of aromas.

There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Offering the perfect balance of quality and value, Southwest, France is a recognized appellation that encompasses all wine regions in France’s southwestern corner (except for Bordeaux and Cognac, which merit their very own). Two of the more famous subregions here are Cahors, known for its Malbec, and Madiran, home of the robust Tannat grape. Bordeaux Blends are also popular red wines of the Southwest; Petit Manseng is the regions’s star autochthonous white variety.
