Comment

Since 1912, the Grassa family has taken care of Domaine Tariquet located in Gascony in the South West of France. In order to protect the life of the soil and optimize the quality of the grapes, the vines have benefited from sustainable viticulture since the beginning of the 90s. The philosophy of the Grassa family is to preserve, during vinification, the freshness and the aromatic potential of each grape variety harvested on the property's vines. The estate has been HVE certified since 2016.

Tasting

A sweet, elegant, fine, round, open wine with a nice balance between sweetness and acidity. The fruitiness and aromas of the grape variety evolve towards pretty vanilla notes. This over-ripe grape, fought over by the last thrushes, produces a wine that is both rich and powerful, but also very fresh. On the nose it reveals notes of white truffles, on the palate it is flattering. General impression of balance, fullness. Its spicy character asserts itself. Produced in very small quantities.
