Gascony may be known for everyday value, but in the hands of Gilles Baumann—and since 2010, his daughter Laure—it produces wines of true distinction. Domaine des Cassagnoles is estate-grown and bottled, farmed under lutte raisonnée and certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE). Year after year, this cuvée earns gold medals in Eauze and Paris, along with three-star ratings and “Coup de Cœur” mentions in the Guide Hachette.
Taste
Bright and aromatic, this white blend opens with citrus, green apple, and floral notes. On the palate, zesty Colombard brings freshness, Ugni Blanc adds delicacy, and Gros Manseng contributes body and tropical nuance. The result is lively, crisp, and perfectly balanced, finishing with a clean mineral lift.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Domaine des Cassagnoles has been family-run for generations, rooted in the rolling hills of Gascony’s clay and limestone soils. Gilles Baumann, with Laure now by his side, has elevated the estate’s reputation as one of the region’s benchmark producers. Their thoughtful farming and commitment to preserving terroir shine through in every bottle.
Why We Love It
This is the kind of white you’ll want to keep stocked at all times: refreshing, versatile, and over-delivering for the price. Perfect as an aperitif, with seafood, or alongside light fare, it embodies Gascony’s reputation for wines that are both joyful and refined.
