Gascogne
Drouet et Fils Paradis de Famille Grande Champagne Cognac
$379.99Dark copper in colour, with an aromatic bouquet of rancio, ripe plum and citrus over cedar, cigar box and tobacco. Cinnamon and polished wood bring warm spice without obscuring the fruit. The palate is powerful but notably mellow, with a velvety texture and quiet liquorice depth. The finish is enduring and composed, carrying candied fruit, tobacco and seasoned oak.
Domaine de Joy XO 10 Year Old Bas-Armagnac
$127.99Vanilla and white flowers rise first, followed by caramel and polished oak. The palate is soft and balanced, with rounded sweetness framed by gentle wood spice and a supple texture. New Gascon and Limousin oak bring both character and elegance. The finish is long and composed, leaving vanilla, caramel, flowers and a clean echo of oak.
Grachies 2025 Cotes de Gascogne Blanc
$19.99Bright citrus leads into an exuberant mix of blackcurrant, pineapple, gooseberry, peach and apricot. The palate is fresh, light and fruit-forward, with clean acidity keeping the ripe flavours lively and harmonious. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, or alongside salads, grilled prawns, shellfish, simple fish dishes or white meats; its easy freshness also makes it a natural choice for warm-weather lunches.
