NEW Domaine des Cognettes - Gorges 2022 (vitt/white)

”Gorges” is one of the 2 ”crus communaux” (wines named after the village where the grapes are growing) produced by the Cognettes estate. Together with the ”Clisson” and ”Clos des Choffardières” they represent the most typical and richest expression of the estate’s unique terroir. 

The ”Gorges” wines receive from their soil rich in the rare Gabbro stone an increased minerality and freshness that is particularly welcome for the most recent vintages that have seen warm summers and less acidity. On the other hand, these features usually require to give the wine more airtime to fully express its aromatic structure.

Made with the traditional Muscadet wine grape called « Melon de Bourgogne » in the underground glass tanks also traditional and specific to the Muscadet wine region, the Gorges is aged for at least 30 months on the lees in those same underground glass vats.

This recently bottled 2022 vintage presents a bright, light yellow color with silver highlights. The nose is very aromatic and complex, blending ripe white fruits and white flowers with a hint of jasmine. The palate combines fullness and freshness with a long finish and beautiful bitter notes.

This excellent Muscadet wine, served between 11 and 13 degrees celcius, can for example ideally be paired with a sea-bream cooked on the plancha with eggplant purée, a farm-raised poultry with crayfish, or a fresh goat cheese.
