DOMAINE LAHEOUGUERE Etoile Filante 2020 Vin de France Gascony 75cl White

Grape variety: 100% Colombard

Terroir: 40-year-old vines in Lannemaignan

Vinification / Aging: Vinified in 420-liter French oak barrels from the Tronçais forest, unoaked, aged for almost 1 year to finish its sugars, sulfited only at bottling.

Tasting: A nose of yellow fruits, smoky notes and undergrowth, the attack is lively, contrasted by a much rounder and more structured palate given by barrel aging. A gastronomic wine for roasted poultry, for example!

🍷 Serve at 10-12°C; good aeration in the glass can be beneficial.

Vincent Laterrade, with his experience as a former sommelier and passionate lover of his Gers region, has been deeply interested in selecting fine Armagnacs for independent aging and bottling for about ten years. Thus, all year long, he travels through the region's cellars in search of treasures, old batches never bottled, sometimes never discovered, sleeping for decades in cellars from another era. His selection of Armagnacs is incredibly precise and complex, with acute tasting. Every year, superb batches emerge, like those of the greatest Scottish bottlers. The batches are never reduced, and you won't pay for the packaging, which is very sober but features very elegant bottles!

Recently, he has also been aging a white cuvée, Etoile Filante, in barrels, with the same care as his Armagnacs. For this purpose, he set up in a superb, typically Gers-style barn made of beaten earth and wattle and daub, which he is lovingly renovating.
