DOMINIQUE ANDIRAN Le Ruminant des Vignes 7102 Vin de France (Gers, Oxidative Wine) 75cl White

Grape Variety: Gros Manseng

Tasting Notes: An extraordinary, singular wine; between a Fino, Jaune or Jura Typé, and Madeira; aged 3 years oxidatively without topping up but with a lighter veil. Familiar to fans of Domino's "Pissenlits" but truly different! Very complex on the nose, with notes of bergamot tea, oriental spices, and a light smokiness. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a slight tannic edge and beautiful, invigorating acidity.

This cuvée is named after a fossil resembling a Neolithic horse found in one of Domino's vineyards.

🍷 Serve at 14°C, great aging potential.
