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 1990s. 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

Partial aging in barrels gives both power and finesse to this chardonnay which expresses the fruit. The nose is subtle, floral in character, with notes of fresh butter. The very melted wood does not mark the wine but brings complexity to the whole. The palate is rich, round and full of freshness. Serve slightly chilled. To be enjoyed with all grilled fish as well as white meats.
