Saint Mont Pyreneen Blanc 2019
From the gorgeous Saint Mont AOC in Gascogne, this mouthwatering trio of rare grapes (Gros Manseng with Petit Courbu and Arrufiac) grows in a small sub-alpine pocket some 50 miles from the Pyrénées Mountains and just over the border from Basque country. With lush, medium-full body, driven by flavors of ripe apricot, peach, and wild herbs, the palate is simultaneously fresh and zippy, with a long, satisfying finish. 25-year-old vines and 6 months on the lees contribute to the wine's depth of flavor and overall complexity.
95 Points - Decanter
A jewel of a wine, so particular and distinctive, showing no ambition other than singing its origin. Aromas of apple and notes of vibrant peach, Mirabelle plum, dried herbs and a suave enhancement of lees. Elegant and quite delicious with a finesse and fine spine of acidity."
