The bouquet offers vibrant aromas of stone fruits, particularly apricot and peach, intertwined with floral notes that elevate its overall charm. Acidity shines with a bright and lively quality, providing a refreshing backbone that balances the fruit intensity elegantly.

Gascony

Gascony, located in the southwest of France, is one of the country's most diverse winegrowing regions. Spanning from the Atlantic coast to the rolling hills and valleys inland, Gascony's vineyards cover a wide array of terroir. The cool, deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean play a major role in cooling Gascony's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 50 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the coast, producing crisp and aromatic wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched hills yield bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables Gascony to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
