CÔTÉ
This unique wine owes its existence to pure chance. In 1995, the Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc, which were never intended to be blended together, were mixed by accident during the harvest. The vat was then « put aside » (“mis de côté” in French), hence the name of the wine.
But this atypical marriage turned out to be quite the success. So, while atypical, this blend of equal parts Chardonnay and Sauvignon has proven to be a match made in heaven.
Dry white wine
Grape varieties : Chardonnay 50%, Sauvignon 50%
Appellation : Côtes de Gascogne IGP, South-West, France
Tasting notes
The floral character of Sauvignon and the richness of Chardonnay come together to offer complex yet surprisingly harmonious flavours, from the citrus of the Chardonnay to the minerality of Sauvignon.
The finish is very aromatic, evoking both mango and pink grapefruit. The palate is generous, persistent, yet lively. A very original wine with a strong personality.
Food and wine pairings
This wine is equally suited to be tasted before or during meals, pairs wonderfully with Asian dishes, spicy or exotic cuisines.
