Lauroux Blanc Sec 2008

Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne Blanc 2008 12% abv.             

At Domaine de Lauroux, our ethos of minimal chemical intervention coupled with biodynamically-approved treatments and traditional growing methods produces clean, fresh, well-balanced wines.  Filtration is carried out using bentonite and diatomeous earth - a form of clay; rather than chemicals. 

Fermentation uses naturally-occurring yeasts, supplemented only when absolutely necessary.  During fermentation our wines are closely monitored and analysed twice-daily.  Sulphites, used to prevent the wines from oxidising, are kept to a minimum by frequent testing and levels are only adjusted if essential.  Our wines are made without using animal by-products, making them suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Characteristic of Gascony's white wines, our Blanc Sec 2008 combines traditional grape varietals Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Gros Manseng.

This clean, fresh wine is pale gold in colour; sprightly, clean and packed full with delicious citrus fruits and ripe pineapple.  

Served well chilled, Lauroux Blanc Sec is particularly suited to fish or white meat, salads
                                       or light pasta dishes.  The zesty lemon and cut grass notes offer a perfect accompaniment
                                       to spicy and aromatic dishes.
