Domaine de Joy - St André 2024
The Domaine de Joy is an emblematic family estate of the Gascogne region, located in Gers, in the heart of the Côtes de Gascogne. Managed by the Gessler family, the estate extends over a vast vineyard of clay-limestone hills benefiting from a temperate oceanic climate, particularly favorable for producing aromatic and balanced white wines. The vineyard work is carried out with rigor and regularity, in a reasoned approach aiming to preserve the natural freshness of the grapes and the fruity expression typical of the Gascon terroir. Over the vintages, Domaine de Joy has established itself as a reference for its generous, precise, and accessible white wines, while maintaining a true identity.
The cuvée Saint André 2024 is a nice cuvée of slightly sweet white wine, designed to combine indulgence, freshness, and elegance. Made from grapes harvested at advanced maturity, it retains a delicate sweetness perfectly balanced by a beautiful natural liveliness. The 2024 vintage, marked by good climatic balance, allows for an expressive wine without heaviness, where the residual sugar always remains in harmony with the acidic framework. The vinification is carried out with precision to preserve the fruit, aromatic purity, and drinkability. This cuvée perfectly embodies the style of the estate: generous, charming, and accessible, while remaining balanced.
On tasting, Saint André 2024 reveals a seductive nose of exotic fruits, ripe pear, white peach, and delicate floral notes. The palate is round and supple, with a slight sweetness that brings comfort without excess. The natural freshness of the wine balances the whole and extends the finish with fruity and indulgent notes. The texture is silky, pleasant, offering great ease of tasting. This slightly sweet white wine will ideally accompany aperitifs, sweet and savory dishes, mild Asian cuisine, blue cheeses, or fruity desserts. A pleasure cuvée, elegant and luminous.
