Domaine Saint-Lannes, ‘Signature’, 2025, Côtes de Gascogne (IGP)

'One-Liner'
A wonderfully aromatic Gascon white, bursting with citrus, orchard fruit and exotic fruit – crisp, lively and irresistibly refreshing.

Tasting Note
Bright and fragrant, with fresh lime, green apple and white flowers opening into ripe plum, grapefruit and more tropical notes of passion fruit and lychee. The palate is dry, light and energetic, with Colombard bringing plenty of citrus bite, Gros Manseng adding aromatic richness and Ugni Blanc keeping everything fresh and easy-going. Clean and mouth-watering through the finish, with lingering citrus and a gentle floral lift.

The Story
Domaine Saint-Lannes was established by the Duffour family in 1955, with Michel Duffour producing the estate’s first commercial vintage in 1982 and the third generation now continuing the family story. The vineyards lie in the Ténarèze, where clay and limestone soils meet an Atlantic-influenced climate of warm days and cooler nights. Signature brings together three grapes closely associated with the fresh whites of Gascony – Colombard, Gros Manseng and Ugni Blanc – creating a wine that captures the region at its most immediately enjoyable: aromatic, fruit-filled and wonderfully bright, but with enough texture and character to make it far more than simply an aperitif.
