IMPRÉVU
A dry white wine with an alcohol content of only 9.5%, obtained naturally, without dealcoholisation.
Imprévu (unexpected in French) is thusly named thanks to its unexpected combination of Riesling and Ugni blanc. Quite surprising as Riesling was nowhere to be found in Gascony until 2010, when the Grassa family decided to establish it on the estate, fulfilling a long-held dream of theirs. The unusual combination of Riesling and Ugni blanc, the historic grape variety of Domaine Tariquet, gives a white wine that is all at once dry, light and harmonious, structured and balanced as well as aromatic and delicate despite its low alcohol content. Imprévu will delight consumers looking for new tasting experiences.
The selection of both grape varieties and the parcels on which they are planted, allow us to produce a light white wine, with an alcohol content of only 9.5%, obtained naturally, without dealcoholisation, while remaining completely dry.
As Riesling is not included in the authorised grapes in the IGP Côtes de Gascogne specifications, Imprévu is bottled under the IGP Gers appellation. Like all of our wines and Bas-Armagnacs, it is of course produced exclusively with grapes grown at Domaine Tariquet.

Tasting notes
A nose of blackcurrant, raspberry, and elderflower. On the palate, the Riesling brings notes of white peach and fresh lychee. The Ugni blanc brings its characteristic finesse and freshness, alongside subtle notes of hops and a hint of the grapefruit’s delicate bitterness. A light and perfectly balanced dry white wine.
