DOMAINE TARIQUET CLASSIQUE 2022

The Grassa family's sustainable estate in Gascony benefits from dramatic temperature swings between sunny days and cool nights, creating ideal conditions for crisp white wines from their mosaic of terroirs—predominantly sandy "sables fauves" and clay-limestone "boulbène" soils that provide exceptional drainage and freshness. This HVE and ISO 14001-certified Classic blend showcases the estate's pioneering approach to Côtes de Gascogne whites, combining zesty Ugni Blanc with tropical Colombard, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, and exotic Gros Manseng. Bright citrus and white peach aromas lead to a palate of Meyer lemon zest, green apple, and honeysuckle, with underlying mineral notes reminiscent of wet river stones—a refreshing, food-friendly wine that embodies Gascony's oceanic terroir.
