Mary Taylor, Olivier Gessler Côtes de Gascogne 2022

A nose of fresh cut flowers and lush, tart lemons with a touch of elegant butter. On the palate, bright and crisp, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and tropical fruit, and a lip smacking mineral streak. IGP Côtes de Gascogne shares the same land surface as Armagnac, in the beautiful French Southwest. The Gessler family settled here, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, in 1928. We are now on the 4^th generation – a robust family business with 20 full time employees. This is one of the more thoughtfully farmed properties – registered HVE 3 and in organic conversion. They tend to indigenous varietals such as Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Gros Manseng, from which this wine is made.

Farming Practice: Organic (in conversion) & Sustainable
