Cotes de Gascogne
Côtes de Gascogne is the title for wines produced in the Gers department of South-West France, close to the Spanish border. Everyone is talking about the wines from Cotes de Gascogne, and it's easy to see why; there's no better quality-price ratio in France. Whites are fresh and lively; rosés are pretty and red wines are structured and fruit-forward.
What was once a region devoted to producing Armagnac, a fine grape-based spirit with similarities to Cognac, is now a arena for talented winemakers making superb wine with local grapes in a splendid terroir with no equal. The very same Atlantic influence that makes wine from Bordeaux so exclusive is felt in Gascony too, it clashes with the warm breeze coming up from the Mediterranean for a unique terroir. Added to that, you have varied soils and altitudes, and that right there is a recipe for success.
Cotes de Gascogne is challenging France's wine laws, producing wine way above its supposed quality level, the Vin de Pays. Gascony is stealing the spotlight from more prestigious regions with their own appellations. Amateurs and Connoisseurs are finding in Gascony's hills a source for delicious wine of great value.
