“Reflections of the Gascon Meadows”
“The proximity of the Pyrenees has a beneficial effect on the wines’ acidity, and the very low pH levels allow the grapes to reach full ripeness, giving the 2018 Jardins de Bouscassé the stature of a rich, full-bodied white wine, balanced by its bitter notes.” (Le Guide RVF 2024).
