Alain Brumont Gros Manseng-Sauvignon 2010
Gascony, FranceThis kind of wine csn turn around your wine palate and get you headed in a new more positive space. The Brumont mixes gros manseng and sauvignon from the Gascogne region and the result is a fresh, grassy, mineral white flecked with bits of lemon and pear, gooseberry, honey and quince. Love the intensity and juicy mid-palate in what is a quaffable white wine of considerable interest with food. Clams, mussels, crab they will all work here.
