COTES-DE-GASCOGNE PREMIERES GRIVES TARIQUET 2021

€10.00

Bouteille 75 cl

Domaine Tariquet is a family estate dating back to the early 20th century. At the time, the vineyard, ravaged by phylloxera, covered no more than 7 hectares. Until 1982, Domaine Tariquet produced exclusively Armagnac. In that year, white wine production began. The estate continues to produce Armagnac and various eaux-de-vie to this day. It is a benchmark for VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale: a blend in which the youngest Armagnac is at least four years old) enthusiasts.

About

The most popular of all Domaine Tariquet wines! With the arrival of the first thrushes in the first frosts of autumn, the harvest of late-ripening grape varieties begins. A fine, elegant, distinctive wine is born from these bunches of late-ripening grapes, still bursting with berries bursting with sugar and pleasure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this wine suitable if I’m looking for a very dry white?

The description emphasizes grapes harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, when they are still rich in sugar. So if you’re primarily looking for a very dry white, this is not the choice best supported by the information provided; however, the residual sugar level is not specified.

Should I choose it for its power or its finesse?

The estate presents it as a fine, elegant wine with distinctive character, rather than as a showy white. It is better suited to those looking for finesse with character; the grapes’ advanced ripeness should not be confused with an indication of power.

Are Les Premières Grives only for drinking in autumn?

The name refers to the arrival of the thrushes and the first cold weather, which mark the start of the late-ripening grape harvest. It therefore describes the harvest setting, not a particular season for enjoying this wine.

Is it a good introduction to Tariquet?

It’s a good option if you’d like to start with a particularly popular cuvée: the shop describes it as the estate’s most popular wine. However, bear in mind that it is made from grapes harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, so it does not necessarily represent the other styles of Tariquet.

Is Parker’s score of 87 enough to know whether I’ll like this 2021?

The score provides a critical reference point, but no accompanying comment explains the reasons for it. To choose according to your tastes, focus on the details provided: a late harvest of very ripe grapes and a wine described as fine, elegant, and distinctive.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
