Winemaker Notes
The Colombard grape is a cousin of the Chenin Blanc grape and so it has similar characteristics being rich and full of flavor on the palate with a lingering finish. However, the aromas of fresh flowers and blackcurrant leaf more resemble Sauvignon Blanc.
Ideal with all spicy dishes like as well as all seafood, chicken and cream based pastas. Also a great aperitif.
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.
