Description
In a nutshell:
A dry, tangy and generously flavoured white from the foothills of the Pyrenees in south west France.
The lowdown:
Pacherenc di Vic-Bilh is a Gascon white that is made in both dry and sweet versions - this one, as indicated by the word 'sec' is of the dry variety. It's a blend of local white grapes, Gros Manseng, Courbu and Petit Manseng from vines up to 50 years old. It's big, generous, quite golden in colour and with a nose of orchard fruits. The palate is fresh yet rich with the orchard fruits carrying through and layer of warm, soft spice.
The Producer:
Domaine Berthoumieu is a small Gascon domaine in the north of the Madiran appellation. Where, since 2017 Claire and Marion Bortolussi have managed its 26 hectares of vineyards. Their wines offer tremendous character and style, genuine 'vins de terroir', and are some of the best in the appellation. They have two different plots: one on a pebbly clay plateau to the west of the village facing south towards the Pyrenees, and the other a gravelly slope facing southeast to the east of the village.
When to drink:
A weighty and quite mouthfilling wine and the sort of thing that would go with full flavoured fish and seafood like salmon steaks, or grilled scallops.
