Olivier & Roland Gessler
Côtes de Gascogne Colombard Blend
Blend of Sauvignon Blanc. Colombard (offspring of Chenin Blanc), Gros Manseng and Ugni Blanc, pale lemon color, almost white, aromas of crisp white flesh fruits, floral and citrus notes, in-oaked. On the palate flavors of pear and tart lemon, dry, with lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and mineral spice.

Apr 7th, 2023Zesty! Drinking this wine felt like having a mouthful of Sweet Tarts (not necessarily a negative). Tropical, floral nose with hints of lemongrass. The palate saw a battle between sour fruit (lemon, grapefruit) and sweet fruit (guava, pear). While I enjoyed this dynamic to an extent (and loved the mouthwatering acidity), this was still just a bit too tangy for me. 50% Colombard, 30% Ugni Blanc, 15% Gros Manseng, 5% Sauvignon Blanc. 1/9/23.
