WINEMAKER NOTES
This Pacherenc du Vic Bilh wine embodies the glory of Petit Courbu, which according to Alain Brumont is the first great variety of white grape in the Southwest. He wanted to make a 100% Petit Courbu cuvée that could enhance the huge potential of this unknown, but promising variety. Reflecting the colors and the scents of the artistic garden at Chateau Bouscassé, “Jardins” offers a range of exotic fruits and wild flower aromas, and other fragrances from Gascony.

PRESS
“This cuvee of the very local Petit Courbu grapes comes from the same region as Madiran. The wine is dry but rich—very rich—with apricot and honey flavors. It has concentration, a great tang of lemon and just enough acidity to keep everything in order. This is ready to drink.” – 89 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
