When you think of French wines, Bordeaux, Loire, Cotes du Rhone, Burgundy, and even Champagne immediately come to mind. However, France has so much more to offer. A prime example is the Cotes de Gascogne, a wine region that continues to gain popularity with wine lovers across Europe every year. However, this wine region was first known for another alcoholic beverage: Armagnac: a distillate made from grape skins.
However, Armagnac production declined, and winegrowers discovered that the vineyards were ideal for producing successful wines. This was also the case at this winery. It was primarily aromatic varieties like Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc, and Colombard that thrived in the vineyard, thanks in part to the magnificent terroir.
Les 3 F Frais Fruite Fantastique Gascogne has been a huge success for several years. It is aromatic, fruity, refreshing, and lush. In short: Fantastic. Or as the French say: Fantastique. The aroma is a delight: fresh lemons and ripe pears. The palate is bursting with white fruit and a hint of apricot. A subtle yet light spice makes Les 3 F Frais Fruite Fantastique Gascogne an ideal aperitif wine or to accompany a hearty lunch.
