Gouyate 2019 | Barouillet

Sweet wine from Monbazillac made from a Sémillon and Muscadelle blend (19g/Litre of residual sugar).

It needs the exact percentage of noble rot to have a harmonious mix between sugar, richness and aromas. In order to have a good quantity of healthy berries to guarantee freshness and intensity the grapes must be harvested at dawn so they are as fresh as possible.

Direct pressing, with a pneumatic press and then cold settling and then fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts (as for all of Barouillet wines), to preserve our terroir characteristics and originality. When the balance between alcohol and residual sugar was reached, the fermentation was stopped by filtration. Then, the wine been shortly aged on fine lees in a stainless steel tank, and bottled within a few days of filtration in order to minimize SO2 doses. The ageing is done in bottles during 3 months before being marketing.

Its golden reflects colour is charming. Its nose is pretty fresh and mineral, with a zest of tropical fruits. The mouthfeel has at first a great acidity and richness, and then an explosion of fruits, a hint of sweetness which remind honey, and to finish a pleasant freshness that awakes the palate. With the sweet fruits aromas, the freshness and the length give this wine all its beauty and the desire to have another sip.

Food Pairing

It will be ideal for summer aperitif with simple food such as vegetable crisps with a Greek sauce, or with more sophisticated food such as foie gras (the perfect trio with onion jam), a Roquefort risotto, or pork chop with cream. It could also accompany your dessert with a chocolate charlotte, a mango soufflé, or a tiramisu. In a word, it is the best companion for the whole meal.

Grapes from organic farming and natural yeast and low added sulfites. Unfined and small filtration wine.
