Gascony
Gascony is a historic wine region in southwest France, stretching from the Atlantic coast eastward to Toulouse, known for producing crisp white wines, fruity rosés, and distinctive Armagnac brandy. The region benefits from a moderate maritime climate with warm summers and mild winters, with key grape varieties including Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, and Tannat. While often overlooked compared to more famous French wine regions, Gascony has gained recognition for offering exceptional value wines with bright acidity, particularly its aromatic whites that display citrus and tropical fruit notes.

Millet Côtes de Gascogne Rouge La Cloche
Millet Côtes de Gascogne Rouge La Cloche is a fruit-forward red blend from the Gascony region of Southwest France. This approachable wine showcases the regional character with balanced acidity and soft tannins, making it an excellent everyday drinking option.
Mont Gravet Sauvignon Blanc Colombard
This zippy white blend combines the aromatic punch of Sauvignon Blanc with the roundness and tropical notes of Colombard – a marriage that works surprisingly well, like peanut butter and jelly for grown-ups. Mont Gravet sources these grapes from Gascony in southwest France, a region better known for Armagnac but increasingly recognized for its fresh, value-packed whites. What makes this blend particularly appealing is how it delivers serious refreshment without veering into the aggressively grassy territory that some Sauvignon Blancs inhabit. The Colombard softens the edges while adding interesting tropical dimensions. It's the perfect bottle to have on hand for unexpected guests, impromptu seafood dinners, or those moments when you just need something crisp and delicious without breaking the bank. Consider it your reliable white wine wingman – always ready to make you look good.
