"Reflection of the Gascon meadows"

"The proximity of the Pyrenees is beneficial to the acidity of the wines, and the very low pH levels allow the grapes to ripen fully, giving the 2018 Jardins de Bouscassé the scope of a great rich and pulpy white wine, verticalized by its bitter notes." (Le Guide RVF 2024).
