Domaine Tariquet Classic Blanc

Domaine Tariquet Classic Blanc is the estate's flagship wine and has been a Gascon institution since the 1982 vintage. The Grassa family pioneered the bottling of Ugni Blanc – originally cultivated for Armagnac production – as a dry white wine. Today, the Classic is a blend of six grape varieties : Gros Manseng, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc – a unique combination for Gascony that lends the wine exceptional complexity and depth.

In the glass, it shines a bright, pale straw yellow with green reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a fresh, complex bouquet of apple, grapefruit, quince, white blossoms, and a hint of gooseberry and exotic fruit , complemented by a delicate herbal spiciness and light minerality. On the palate, the Classic is dry, crisp, fresh, and light-bodied, with pleasant acidity, a lovely drinkability, and a charming, fruity finish. At only around 10.5% alcohol, it feels particularly light and invigorating.

Served at 8–12 °C , the Classic Blanc is the perfect everyday companion to appetizers, fresh salads, light fish, seafood or poultry – or simply as an uncomplicated aperitif. A timeless Gascony white wine offering great drinking pleasure and an unmistakable character.
