A refined member of the straightforward Gaillac grape
family. This off-dry example from Domaines Plageoles offers softer apple and pear flavors than the zesty green apple common in Mauzac
Blanc sparklers. Methode rurale fermentation in the bottle yields a pleasant
fine-grained carbonation.
From Astor Wines in
New York,
about $25. Stock up when you’re in Gaillac.
Food pairing: This
helped us end Family Reunion Pizza Night on a light note, accompanying a
tricolore salad of arugula, radicchio and endive with some fresh citrus. The
wine’s mild acidity and gentle sweetness might also fit well with cheese, say
brie on a cracker with a Granny Smith slice.
