Baron de Gascq

AOC Bordeaux White

Tasting

The charm of this wine lies in its pale gold colour with slightly green reflections, as well as in its exotic fruit aromas. The characteristic nose of Sauvignon and Semillon harvested at good maturity. The palate is not to be outdone, fruity and acidulous, brightened with persistent fruit notes and a minerality that gives this wine a very pleasant freshness.

Food Pairing

A seafood platter, a filet of sole in a saffron cream sauce, tagliattelle with scallops, a chicken breast with tarragon, a cheese platter, or even a chocolate mousse.
