PREMIÈRES GRIVES
The thrushes (Grives in French) arrive as the weather turns colder during Autumn signaling the start of the harvest of the late grape varieties. From these very ripe Gros Manseng clusters comes this off-dry white wine, both elegant and distinctive.
This wine was created by the Grassa family in the mid-1990s, and against all odds, before finding a large group of loyal wine lovers, much like the Classic did around ten years earlier.
Premières Grives is available in a 37.5 cl half-bottle, 75 cl bottle with cork or screw cap, 150 cl magnum, 3 and 6-litre formats, and in a 3-litre BIB. All these formats are vintage-dated and offer the same quality of wine.
Off-dry white wine
Grape variety: Gros Manseng
Appellation : Côtes de Gascogne IGP, South-West, France
Tasting notes
The colour is a shimmering yellow with gold nuances. The nose and palate are replete with citrus, exotic fruits including pineapple and mango. It continues to gain complexity with candied fruits, giving way to a finish of freshly picked grapes. This is a balanced, fruitful wine, whose softness gives way to its impeccably fresh finish.
Food and wine pairings
Premières Grives can be enjoyed as an aperitif or accompany a multitude of dishes, including semi-cooked or pan-seared foie gras, free-range chicken cooked on skewer or in a cream sauce, shrimp in coconut milk, slightly spicy curry, vegetable tagine with spices, hard or blue cheese. It also pairs wonderfully with a wide range of desserts such as for strawberry-chocolate macaron, tonka bean crème brûlée, vanilla mille-feuille. It’s also a great accompaniment with a fresh fruit salad.
A sweet wine vinified from rare and prized grapes of Petit Manseng at an advanced maturity.
