Comment

The Hauts de Montrouge cooperative cellar is located in the village of Nogaro in Armagnac. In addition to wine, the cellar produces Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne, which is none other than wine fortified with Armagnac. Created in 1963 in the Gers, it today has around sixty winegrowers who cultivate 1000 hectares of vines. The grape varieties used for the wine are Colombard, Sauvignon, Carbernet Franc, Merlot, Petit and Gros Maseng. All these products are subject to great care on the part of the winegrowers: in Nogaro the harvest is done at night to avoid oxidation of the grape bunches, to preserve optimal quality. Only two vintage names are used, each vintage distinguishing itself according to the grape varieties or the type of wine: Hauts de Montrouge and Esquirots, whose Sauvignon was awarded the Gold Medal at the Concours Général de Paris and two stars in the Guide Hatchet.

Tasting

Dry white wine made from Colombard and Sauvignon grape varieties with a pale yellow color with green reflections. The attack on the palate is lively and lemony and we find aromas of citrus fruits, nectarine and white peach. It successfully accompanies your aperitifs, shellfish and grilled fish. Serve at 10 degrees.
