Pour this cold and the first thing that hits you is pineapple. Ripe, sunny, a little tropical, like someone cut up fresh fruit in the next room. It's gently sweet but never sticky, because there's a clean streak of acidity running underneath that keeps it light on its feet. This is your golden-hour wine. The one you crack on the balcony as Nairobi cools down, or hand to the friend who swears they 'don't really like wine' and watch them go quiet.
Aromatic and generous from the first sniff: pineapple and exotic fruit lead, with a soft whiff of papaya and a little honey behind it. On the palate it's fresh and fruity, with a gentle sweetness that rounds everything off, then a squeeze of lively acidity snaps it back so it finishes clean instead of cloying. Think ripe stone fruit and a touch of kiwi. Easy to love, hard to put down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Côtes de Gascogne in southwest France, sun-soaked country that's quietly become one of the best places on earth for bright, fruity whites. It's made by Haussmann Famille, a house with roots tracing back to Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, the man who redesigned the streets of Paris and happened to be a serious wine lover. The grapes (Colombard for the freshness, Gros Manseng for that lush exotic-fruit lift) grow on vineyards certified High Environmental Value, the top tier of France's own green farming standard.
