Domaine de Ménard
Domaine de Ménard sits in Côtes de Gascogne, a corner of southwestern France known for crisp, food-friendly whites and distinctive regional varieties. The domaine works with Gros Manseng, a local grape that yields wines ranging from dry to lusciously sweet, and Sauvignon Blanc, the aromatic classic. Its Gros Manseng Moelleux and Cuvée d'Or Gros Manseng showcase the grape's capacity for concentration and honeyed complexity, while the Sauvignon Blanc delivers the bright acidity and herbaceous character the variety is prized for. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have rated these wines, reflecting their standing within the region's contemporary output. Côtes de Gascogne remains a source of unpretentious, well-made bottles—wines built for the table rather than the cellar.
