Paul Boutinot LA REVOLUTION Blanc Colombard Vin de Pays de Gascogne
Description: All grapes are sourced from old vines grown in our own vineyards in Montlouis on the south bank of the river Loire, called Chapelle de Cray where grapes are grown organically. Vinification: the grapes are harvested by hand and placed into press. Only the first light pressings are used, the juice is then left to settle for 12 hours before the addition of wild yeasts to commence fermentation. Wild yeasts ferment more slowly than cultured, creating more complexity and finesse in the finished wine. After fermentation, the wine is left for at least six months on fine lees, thus avoiding the need to stabilise with bentonite. Tasting note: a classic white, full of flavour (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £59.40

Domaine du Tariquet Ugni Blanc/Colombard Vins de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne
Description: For the past 20 years the Grassa family have been putting Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne on the viticultural map and have established a worldwide reputation for their various Domaines, from Gold medal after Gold medal in international competitions to the world's leading wine writers citing Yves Grassa as one of the world's most dynamic and innovative winemakers. Indeed, back in 1989 the Domaine du Tariquet Ugni Blanc/Colombard won White Wine of the Year at the International Wine Challenge . Domaine Tariquet is the property where Yves Grassa lives on the family estate and it is here that he tends his most precious vines. The style of winemaking is always one of freshness, elegance and finesse and the Domaine Tariquet range is no exception. Yves is passionate about his winemaking and as a perfectionist is constantly looking at ways of improving what most people agree is a faultless operation, even to the point that he sleeps on a camp bed between the vats during vinification, just in case a minor adjustment needs to be made to the temperature! The "entry level" Ugni Blanc/Colombard is fresh and zesty, with bags of melon and peach fruit and incredible finish, while the Sauvignon makes many a Sancerre producer blush. His Chardonnay is fermented and matured in 3 different types of wood and yeasts from California, Australia and Burgundy are used. The Chardonnay/Sauvignon is a rare animal indeed (12 x 75 cl)
