Êtes Égarés 2022 Colombard Côtes de Gascogne IGP, France
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Harvesting by machine is quick, ensuring that all the grapes are at equal ripeness levels when they arrive at the winery. After sorting, the grapes are pressed, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. This locks in freshness and focuses on fruit flavor, while a subtle French oak influence adds softness and a touch of spice to the flavor profile before bottling.
Vintage Throughout Côtes de Gascogne, the 2022 growing season was warm and dry. Apart from mid-summer hailstorms that reduced yields, it was a serene year for grapes in the French countryside. These Colombard vines are thirty years old and grow on south-facing hillsides. Little rain in the forecast meant grapes soaked up the sunshine, developing rich flavors and fullness during the day. Cool nighttime temperatures held onto naturally crisp acidity, balancing the wine’s texture and body.
Pairing Logic This Colombard is undoubtedly a food wine. Gascony’s renowned culinary reputation means the best pairings will be inspired by French farmhouse cooking. For protein dishes, select fatty slices of poultry or oily shellfish to give the wine’s bright acidity something to slice through. For vegetarian dishes, choose regional favorites like potatoes, wild mushrooms and grilled nuts. Generous amounts of butter, fat and salt are the preferred seasonings in Gascony and will amplify the wine’s concentrated flavors and rich textures.
