Strategically situated in the picturesque foothills of the Pyrenees near Brugairolles, Domaine Gayda represents a fusion of traditional methods and modern winemaking. Known for its commitment to quality and innovation, Gayda focuses on growing traditional grape varieties under organic conditions. This approach results in wines that not only express the diversity of the Languedoc but also emphasize its respect for nature. The En Passant Blanc, made from a careful blend of Rolle and Viognier, is a prime example of Gayda's philosophy and offers a unique perspective on these classic French grapes.
Elegance and Complexity in Every Sip
The En Passant Blanc is distinguished by its bright, pale yellow color and subtle elegance. The nose is enriched with aromas of Granny Smith apple, lime, and fresh almond, revealing the delicate and refined character of this wine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous, supported by a pleasant acidity and a light bitterness that enlivens the drinking experience. An almost iodine-like mineral note adds intriguing depth to the finish, while flavors of fresh pear, acacia blossom, almond, and white peach unfold harmoniously. These elements combine to create a refined, well-balanced tasting experience characteristic of the authentic expression of the Languedoc.
Culinary Pairings and Celebration of Terroir
The Gayda En Passant Blanc is the perfect accompaniment to light dishes such as salads, fish, and poultry, where the wine's freshness and fruity nuances complement the subtle flavors of the food. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany a summer meal, this wine promises to enhance any occasion with its vibrant character and elegant finish. Domaine Gayda's passion for the land and its grapes is reflected in every bottle, with each batch hand-vinified to highlight the individual characteristics of the grape variety. Gayda's dedication to quality and innovation makes their wines a true reflection of both the quality and the vast diversity of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
