The Wine
As Jamie Goode concluded in the Sunday Express, Gascony is “emerging as a brilliant source of inexpensive, fresh, bright, fruity wines. If you like New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, this is an alternative with the same sort of flavour profile, but for much less money.” Le Citronnier combines Gascony’s top white grape, Colombard, for its crisp green apple fruit, with Sauvignon Blanc (star of the Loire and Bordeaux) for ripe, tropical notes and a brilliant citrusy edge. It’s so lemony fresh we had to call it Le Citronnier. Priced for everyday drinking, this evocative white is ideal for summer soirées and lazy afternoons on the lawn. Keep it in the fridge for any sign of sunshine or enjoy with leafy salads, a spicy stir-fry or grilled white fish.
"Splendid choice! Have re-ordered this little gem a few times. Refreshing little number to have handy"
