Tasting: Grande Resereve des Bastides

Wine: Grande Resereve des Bastides
Variety: Gaillac
Region: Gaillac, France
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95

Critic Review: A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l’Oeil and notes of fresh apple and crisp pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel, with a hint of mineral on the finish.

My Review: I enjoyed this wine. It smelled very fresh and crisp, and I was able to get a very fruity smell from it. Tasting it was no disappointment. I enjoyed the interesting combination of fruit and what tasted like a plant. My palate was initially surprised at the taste, but I was left with a very refreshed feeling.

Overall I really enjoyed this wine.
