Domaine de Mirail 2005 Les Mirlandes Red (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
A remarkably rich, spicy, attractive red. It obviously has new wood, but its use is judicious, leaving the mint, black berry and soft tannins of the fruit to come through well.

Domaine de Mirail 2007 Colombard (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
A fresh, lightly perfumed wine with a smooth, full character. It has flavors of pears, spiced apricots and sweet orange zest, finished with some almost sweet acidity.

Aromas of green apples bring a fresh burst of acidity. The wine is bright, with a firm texture of lime zest and red apple skins.

There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rosé. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.
