Amplitude was born with the 2017 vintage thanks to a very careful selection of parcels. Made in very small quantities, entirely of Gros Manseng (the same grape variety used to produce Premières Grives), this authentic Gascon grape variety here is vinified as a dry white.
Its name “Amplitude” refers to the exceptional and surprising thermal amplitude between day and night that Gascony experiences during the summer.
Dry white wine
Grape variety : Gros Manseng
Appellation : Côtes de Gascogne IGP, South-West, France
Tasting notes
Amplitude offers an exceptionally fresh and very aromatic complexity with notes of citrus, white flowers, exotic fruits, in particular mango. A rich and textured wine with great length, Amplitude is as unique as it is delicious and will arouse the curiosity of consumers looking for something different.
Wine and food pairings
Amplitude will harmoniously accompany:
- aperitif and starters: salmon carpaccio with lime, grilled prawns, squid, smoked duck breast, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce.
- main courses: salt-crusted sea bass, duo of monkfish and scallops, a side of Gascon Black Pork, a veal blanquette, pan-fried chanterelle mushrooms, fried noodles with vegetables.
