White wine from South-West Roussillon: Oc, Bergerac, Monbazillac...
Le Château Gilbert & Gaillard, situé sur un plateau calcaire à 200 mètres d'altitude au Sud de l'appellation de Saint-Chinian, vise à exprimer le meilleur de ce terroir exceptionnel. Ce domaine familial et artisanal cultive la vigne dans le respect de l'environnement. La robe de leur sauvignon est or clair. Son nez est franc sur la minéralité et les fleurs blanches. En bouche, ce sauvignon blanc BIO se révèle avec une belle acidité, marquée par les agrumes. Il se déguste à l'apéritif et s'accorde aux fruits de mer et aux fromages. Il se sert idéalement à 8°C.
The Domaine de La Croix has been a family property for 7 generations, located in the heart of the Monbazillac vineyard, the largest sweet appellation in the world. This vineyard is now managed in a reasoned way, and the estate is HVE 3 certified.
The quality of Monbazillac wine makes it the most consumed sweet wine in France. Facing north, the Monbazillac vineyard enjoys a particular temperate climate. During the autumn, under the action of the morning mists combined with the heat of the afternoon sun, a microscopic fungus "Botrytis Cinerea" forms. The development of noble rot then allows the development of this high quality sweet wine. It comes from a selection of the most beautiful "noble grains" of the estate: Sémillon, Muscadelle. Her dress is light golden. Its nose on candied apricot. Supple, fat, unctuous, it fills the mouth well with the flavor of pears and apricots, with a nice balance. It is eaten between 6 and 8°C and goes particularly well with foie gras, grilled pear and Roquefort sandwiches, chocolate desserts or lightly spiced Asian-inspired dishes.
