Gaillac Blanc, Rosé & Fizz

mai_juin_2007_(74).jpgLe Mas de Bicary, Claude and Christine Rouquié

The whites and the fizz are based on Mauzac, Len de l’Elmaison_3.JPG (Loin de l’Oeil; the ‘eyes’ –buds- are far apart on the vine) with a little Sauvignon Blanc.

Mauzac is very aromatic with a distinct taste of green apple and also used in Limoux area. The Len de l’El is more floral and blends well with the Mauzac.

The ever popular rosé is 100% Syrah.

With the financial pressures wine producers are under today, it is exceptionally rare to find a grower making a large amount of wine for keeping. Claude and Christine Rouquié are amongst these rarities, stocking so many different vintages. These are serious, very fruity, very full wines, with soft tannins which will age tremendously well. They have a beautiful deep red colour, a powerful bouquet, and a rich taste. What is more they are reasonably priced.

  • Gaillac Méthode Traditionnelle Brut
    £10.95 Gaillac Méthode Traditionnelle Brut

    £10.95 Gaillac Méthode Traditionnelle (demi-sec)
    This demi-sec (the only one we sell) from Bicary is obviously sweeter than any of our other Méthode Traditionnelle. Inevitably, it is very like the Brut (an ‘assemblage’ of Mauzac and Len de L’El...
