From an exceptional family heritage, it would take two generations to extract the best. Croix de Marsan white Bordeaux wine is a second wine from Château de Marsan. Eric and Philippe Gonfrier have devoted all their time and energy to developing this domain. New acquisitions, selection of terroir to give the best possible expression to the wine, very sophisticated vinification cellars; in short, nothing is left to chance in order to provide the customer with total satisfaction. All possible means are brought into play in order to produce this remarkable Bordeaux Supérieur. Les Vignobles Gonfrier were qualified as using «Agriculture Raisonnée» in June 2005. This is an approach that concerns all the sectors of the activity, from planting the vine to the finished product in its packaging. The principal goal is to limit the impact our working methods we have on the environment. TASTING: Straw-yellow colour with shiny tints. A very fruity nose with aromas of peach and exotic fruits. A lovely wine which has a supple and soft finish. This is a wine that goes as well with fish and sea food and goat’s cheese. Food & wine pairing : Avocado, seafood, raw vegetables, stuffed crab, Panna Cotta, Pineapple Soils : Gravels and silt Grape varieties : 50 % Sauvignon 50 % Sémillon Average age of the vineyard : 30 ans Vinification : The harvest is pressed after some hours of maceration. The fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts and kept at a low temperature for 8 to 10 days depending on the vintage.  

Nobody will argue with you if you claim that Alsace makes the best gewürztraminers anywhere. While just about everything else in the world of wine is disputable, the supremacy of Alsace gewürztraminer is unassailable. Of course, you might not be a fan of this extravagantly scented love-it-or-hate-it variety, but that’s another matter. No other region in the world can match Alsace for explosively spicy, fruity gewürzes. A good Alsace gewürztraminer combines aromas and flavors of citrus and tropical fruits, rose petal, lichee, sweet brown spices (the gewürz prefix in German means spicy) and grilled bacon or smoked meat. While some wines tend to be more floral and others more fruit-driven, most examples of both types are spicy, aromatic, flavorful, low in acidity and rather full-bodied. Floral gewürzes are usually lighter and more delicate while fruitier versions are more often thick, even oily in texture. Since each producer tends to make one or the other style, knowing a little bit about the maker—and your own preferences, of course—will go a long way toward ensuring that you select the right wines for you. 12*750ML
