    Domaine du Tariquet 2005 Chenin Chardonnay White (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)

    What a fascinating blend, this combination of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. The natural acidity of the Chenin gives a great, fresh mouthfeel, while the fat Chardonnay broadens out the palate. This wine is full, rich and packed with ripe grapes, yet with only 12% alcohol, there is still a light, fresh and white fruit-flavored aftertaste. The Grassa family, owners of Tariquet, are major landowners in this Gascony region of southwest France, with 2,100 acres under vine.
