Gaillac Blanc Cuvée Aurore - 2006 - Domaine de Gineste
Ref: A062906
Run by two young couples, Emmanuel and Sigolène Maugeais (Emmanuel having trained as a wine-maker in Beaujolais) and Armelle and Frédéric Delmotte, this 24-hectare domaine is about 3km. to the south-east of the town of Gaillac and is separated in to two parts with 70% situated on gravelly soils and the rest on a much more sandy top-soil.

The Maugeais and Delmottes have invested heavily in the winery and spent a great deal of time renovating the vineyards and the results have been spectacular.

The “Cuvée Aurore” is made from 70% Sauvignon, 20% l’En de l’El (local patois for 'far-from-sight' though quite why no one seems to know) and 10% Mauzac. It has an alluring, honeyed floral nose, is deliciously fresh and ripe with perfect balancing acidity and combines intelligently supportive oak (8 months in 2 year-old oak).

Price: £8.10
Including VAT at 17.5%
