Maison Marcellin Cotes de Gascogne Sauvignon Gros Manseng Demi-Sec

The Maison Marcellin Cotes de Gascogne Sauvignon Gros Manseng Demi-Sec is an exquisite expression of the creative winemaking characteristic of Maison Marcellin, located in the heart of Gascony. This semi-sweet white wine combines the vibrancy of Sauvignon Blanc with the rich, fruity notes of Gros Manseng, resulting in a wine that is both refreshing and pleasantly sweet. The use of these two grape varieties, grown in the fertile soils of France's South-West, allows the winemaker to produce a wine that reflects the unique characteristics of the terroir while adding a new dimension to the region's traditional white wines.

Aromatic Complexity and Ripe Sweetness

From the moment you pour this wine, you're greeted by a captivating aroma of ripe peaches, apricots, and subtle citrus notes, interwoven with hints of floral notes typical of Sauvignon Blanc. The Gros Manseng adds a layer of tropical fruit, such as mango and lychee, resulting in a rich and layered aromatic experience. This demi-sec wine offers a balanced sweetness that excites the palate without being overpowering, supported by a refreshing acidity that provides a pleasant freshness. The careful vinification, including a short maceration on the skins and fermentation at low temperatures, helps preserve the natural fruit aromas and enhance the wine's subtle sweetness.

Gastronomic Versatility

The Maison Marcellin Sauvignon Gros Manseng Demi-Sec is not only delicious on its own but also makes an excellent pairing with a wide variety of dishes. Its semi-sweet character makes it particularly well-suited to spicy Asian dishes, where the sweetness beautifully balances the heat of the spices. This wine also makes an excellent partner for desserts such as fruit tartlets or a light cheese board. Serve this wine chilled between 8-10°C to experience the full harmony of flavors and aromas. Maison Marcellin's Cotes de Gascogne Sauvignon Gros Manseng Demi-Sec is a beautiful rendition of modern craftsmanship blended with deep respect for traditional winemaking methods. It is a wine that embodies the innovative spirit of Médéric Marcellin, the third generation at the helm of this family business, who continually strives to produce wines that both embody the soul of Gascony and captivate the palates of modern wine lovers worldwide.
