Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This wine comes from the Saint Mont vineyard, located in the foothills of the Pyrenees in South West France.It is a mix of 60% Gros Manseng,30% Petit Courbu, and 10% Arrufiac. This wine area, part of Gascogne, is known for creative blends of Gros Manseng and lesser known varieties native to the area. These wines are well worth searching out.
This particular wine is medium lemon in colour, dry, with a medium to medium full body and a pronounced nose of ripe apricot, peach, wild herbs, citrus and citrus pith and a tangy salinity. In the mouth it is rich and smooth, almost lush, due to the extensive aging on lees and has a lovely fresh acidity.
It paired very well with white Stilton with ginger and mango; the fruit notes and rich texture of the cheese complemented the fruity notes and richness of the wine. Roasted squash soup, made with white beans, fresh sage leaves and tomatoes also complemented the wines richness and herbal notes. This wine and others from the area are favourites of mine and a very good value.
