Domaine du Tariquet 2005 Les Premières Grives Gros Manseng (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)

- $15
Tariquet's answer to late harvest wines, this fine, ripe wine, with its layers of sweetness and intense acidity, would be a great accompaniment to pâté and terrines. Made from the south-west's Gros Manseng grape, which many locals claim is the unsung white grape of the future, this is a pure, fruity but complex wine.

Domaine du Tariquet 2005 Chenin Chardonnay White (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
- Best Buy
- $10
What a fascinating blend, this combination of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. The natural acidity of the Chenin gives a great, fresh mouthfeel, while the fat Chardonnay broadens out the palate. This wine is full, rich and packed with ripe grapes, yet with only 12% alcohol, there is still a light, fresh and white fruit-flavored aftertaste. The Grassa family, owners of…

Domaine du Tariquet 2008 Lalande Chardonnay (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Ripe and soft, perfumed and floral, this is pure fruit, a pear- and peach-flavored wine with a hint of toast and almonds. It is clean as a mountain stream, so fresh, but with some weight. And just look at the alcohol—11.5% That’ll save your falling off your bar stool. Screwcap.

Domaine du Tariquet 2008 Chardonnay (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
The little touch of wood aging (three months) is just enough to round out the Chardonnay. At the same time, it does show freshness and apple flavors, with an attractive floral character. It is soft and finally ripe.

Domaine du Tariquet 2009 Chardonnay (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)

Full, ripe and creamy, an unctuous Chardonnay from one of the largest private estates in France. The wine features melon, a line of citrus and pure, bright acidity. Screwcap.

Domaine du Tariquet 2007 Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A delicious wine, the Chenin Blanc giving both mineral and spice flavors, contrasting with the richer Chardonnay. Apricot and sweet melon flavors are supported by a fine, surprisingly complex structure. Fresh currants mark the refreshing finish.

Domaine du Tariquet 2009 Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)
- Online Exclusive
A wine that juxtaposes the acidity of Chenin with the richness of Chardonnay and ends up with a mellifluous whole. It is both apple crisp and melon ripe, lively and broad. And, as always, a great value.
