Made from 100% Mauzac Blanc the méthode ancestrale or méthode gaillacoise as this sparkler is from the Gaillac region of the #sudouest of France partially fermented wine which then finishes its fermentation in bottle. The sediment stays in the bottle which generally creates a slightly sweeter style.
Pour pale golden in the glass with lively bubbles. This is a medium-dry style of wine with heady aromas of apple blossom, apple slices, apple skin, pear compote, flint and honey. The palate is refreshing with a zingy bright edge and sparkling bubbles. Full of bread dough, flinty mineral, honeyed fruit – apple and pear influences of all kinds ending on the slightly apple skin grip.
Perfectly paired with a ham, Gruyère and thyme tart or on its own as an aperitif. Bring on the spring vibes.
Thanks to for this gold medal winner @concours_des_feminalise
