Notes on the Wine
This Cuvee offers grip and fleshy fruit tones. Aged in stainless-steel tanks this wine sees no oak. A great depth and earthiness accompanies a bursting fruitiness you find here. Less than 10% of the wine produced in Gascogny is red.
Notes on the Producer
IGP Côtes de Gascogne shares the same land surface as Armagnac, in the beautiful French Southwest. The Gessler family settled here, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, in 1928. We are now on the 4th generation – a robust family business with 20 full time employees. This is one of the more thoughtfully farmed properties – registered HVE 3 and in organic conversion. They tend to indigenous varietals such as Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Gros Manseng, from which this wine is made.
