Domaine Tariquet Classic

This dry, fruity wine boasts magnificent intensity and lovely open floral and citrus scents, with a delightfully exotic feel. This is a bracing, crisp wine with great freshness in the mouth that makes it perfect for a light, fresh dinner or as an apéritif. The finish pleasantly revives the palate with an almost salty touch. Made from grapes commonly grown in the Gasgogne region of Southwest Franc which include 45% Ugni Blanc, 35% Colombard, 10% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Gros Manseng. These grapes all make this a bright, crisp wine with a touch of aromatic intensity and salty minerality. About the Brand: Domaine Tariquet was founded in 1912 in Côtes de Gasgogne in the Southwest of France. The domaine was famous for their Armagnacs, still produced today. In the 1980s, the heirs to the estate broke all the rules, producing still wines, from little known grapes like Ugni Blanc and Colombard, later planting Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and others. They master every step of production preserving the wine’s freshness and bright aromatics. Critical Acclaim: "Lightly honeyed flavors of peach and lemon oil are detailed by chive, blanched almond, and spice notes in this light-bodied, creamy white. Minerally finish. Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng. Drink now.” Wine Spectator
