Release Notes:
Gascony, one of France’s most picturesque regions, is the fictional home of Alexander Dumas’ famous swashbucklers: the 3 Musketeers.
Domaine d’Uby is located in the lush Gers region at the heart of Armagnac made famous by its brandy of the same name.
This wine is a blend of 75% Colombard and 25% Ugni Blanc. Not surprisingly, these varietals are used to make French brandy (both Cognac and Armagnac) and Ugni Blanc is also widely planted in Italy where it is known as Trebbiano. In the verdant Côtes de Gascogne, these grapes produce fresh, aromatic wines that are very pleasing to the senses. Domaine d'Uby even conducts its harvest at night to keep the harvested grapes from hot sun preserving the fresh, fruity flavors.
Tasting Notes:
A light white wine, the nose offers a lovely blend of citrus, exotic fruits and apple blossoms. On the palate this is a light-bodied wine with fresh grapefruit and lemon sensations and a deliciously crisp and refreshing finish. We have found it makes a pleasant aperitif and will pair well with food such as salads, goat cheese, fish, or other seafood. Drink now to 2010.
