Pontil
White Wine
To be awarded the appellation of Côtes de Gascogne, a wine must not only be from the coastal region in Southwest France, but it must also meet exacting standards of quality production. So, it’s no surprise that the wines that do win the name represent some of the finest white wines in the world today.
The Pontil 2015 White Wine succeeds in living up to those high standards of quality, with a white wine that captures the essence of the region’s best qualities. The wine carries the particular qualities of the Gers sub region, where chalky soil blend with the perfect balance of sun, rain, and cool winds to produce a round and aromatic white with a pleasant balance of high acidity and low alcohol content.
On the nose are strong floral and citrus notes, blended sweetly with hints of honey and vanilla. In the mouth, it leads with a striking gush of tart and citrus fruits, wh ...

WINE REGION:
![Outline of France](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1812/normal/France.png?1616010292)
France
While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
