The Domaine de Guillaman is a wine estate that lies in Gascony on hillsides and has been in the Ferret family for six generations.  A passion for the grape has long run in the family.  Albert Ferret, the fourth-generation owner, passed on his own devotion to his grand-son Dominique, who was equally passionate and was also proud to be able to maintain the fine family history, took over the management of the property from a very young age, and decided to change direction in choosing to make high-quality white wines.  These are marketed as Côtes de Gascogne, which now have a protected geographical status.

The grape varieties are predominantly white, in part as they were ones used for making armagnac: Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng make up 80% of the vines.  The remaining 20%, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, are used to make rosé and red wines.

Ripe red fruits on the palate with a touch of chocolate, the tannins are clearly present but not aggressive.  It is nicely balanced with a well-rounded finish.

You could serve this with a slight chill on it and enjoy with anything spicy or aromatic.
