Last month I discovered Domaine Horgelus Colombard-Sauvignon white wine blend and has since become my summertime house wine. For under $10 it really is a remarkable wine and excellent value for the money.
The blend is 75% Colombard and 25% Sauvignon Blanc with 11.5% ABV. Colombard is one of the world's greatest blending grapes, yet interestingly it makes up the majority of the blend.
Produced under the IGP Cotes de Gascogne title, the Colombard grape gives this dry white wine crisp acidity and fruity, zesty flavors. Combined with the Sauvignon Blanc grape, aromas of lemon, grapefruit and peach are present. There is an excellent acidity balance, a light to medium body and a long crisp finish.
I always find Domaine Horgelus to be very refreshing and perfect as an aperitif or with dinner. You truly cannot go wrong with this French wine for under $10 a bottle.
Have a wonderful weekend!
