From 19th century bear tamers, to 21st century modern wine makers, the Grassa family's history, owners of Domaine Tariquet, is full of adventure. Originally an Armagnac producing estate, much like everyone else in the area, they were pioneers in making quality wines from the indigenous grapes of Gascony such as Ugni Blanc, Gros and Petit Manseng and all the family's know-how shows in their superb value for money wines. This fine wine offers delicacy, strength and good structure, having fermented and aged in fine-grained French oak barrels. Its subtle bouquet reveals floral notes, fresh butter and hints of vanilla. Fresh and intense at entry, rich flavours then give way to pleasant toasty notes. Shades of vanilla oak underline the Chardonnay’s well-rounded palate and aromatic intensity.Possibility to store the BIB on a fridge shelf, and not in the fridge door, thanks to its reduced height.
