Domaine de Bordes - Cotes de Gascogne

Gascony

Located in the heart of Gascony, the domaine has been in family hands since 1927 and stretches over 90 hectares. Light soils and an oceanic climate give a fruity expression to even their driest of wines.

It's Vin de Pays des des Côtes de Gascogne stood out amongst a plethora of similarly-priced wines we tried on our visit to Vinisud in Montpellier earlier in the year. It's a vivacious dry white wine with exotic fruits and wild flower aromas that carry through to a light-bodied palate of crisp green fruit balanced with a roundness on a clean finish.

Silver Medal Winner at the Concours Général de Paris 2005.
