Estate dates back to Crusades & Scottish navigator, George Smith, owner in the 18th century. Followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel & Florence Cathiard now own estate. Blend of 60% Cab Sauv & 40% Merlot, dark berry aromas, herbs and earthy spice. Palate is complex with cherry & currant flavors, pepper, tobacco & cacao notes. Soft tannins, rich and full, lingering, earthy, mineral ending, needs a bit of time. — 3 years ago
Incredible wine to accompany with chicken, mushrooms and cheese. Soft but with dry hints. — a year ago

You're sitting on a porch. On an airplane. Under a tree. At a dinner. You're breathing. You're alive.. Well drink this. Gascogne Blanc is for people like me, drinking glass after glass but don't want to pay the price on Sancerre daily. Colomard, Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng. Don't we all love drinking stuff no one's heard of?! And spend less than $12, yes. Over and over again. — 9 years ago
