Domaine des Cassagnoles Cotes de Gascogne, 2023

Super crisp and bright white wine, especially fun for those looking to branch out from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  The south of France consistently over-delivers with tasty wine at a steal;  Gilles Baumann is a skilled winemaker, working alongside his daughter, Laure.  Lime zest, hay, honeydew on nose with sweet magnolia flowers.  Zesty sweet lemon on the palate, with melon and saline minerality.  Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc.   Entirely estate grown, certified Lutte raisonnée farmed vines.  Aged in tank until bottling.
