Domaine de Joÿ Éclat is an expressive white wine from the Gascony region of France, produced by the renowned family-run Domaine de Joÿ. This wine is a blend of Colombard and Gros Manseng, two grape varieties typical of the region that contribute to the lively and aromatic qualities of the wine.
The vineyards of Domaine de Joÿ are located on hilly terrains with calcareous clay and sandy soils, which provide the grapes with excellent drainage and minerality. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure the best quality. After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which helps to preserve the fresh and fruity aromas.
In the glass, Domaine de Joÿ Éclat has a bright, straw-yellow colour. The nose is seduced by an intense bouquet of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit, combined with exotic notes of passion fruit and a hint of white flowers. This aromatic complexity makes the wine particularly attractive.
On tasting, Éclat offers a refreshing and lively acidity, with a harmonious balance between fruity and mineral flavours. The palate reveals ripe citrus and tropical fruit notes, complemented by a subtle minerality and a hint of spiciness. The texture is smooth and elegant, with a long, fresh finish that leaves a lasting impression.
Domaine de Joÿ Éclat is a versatile wine that goes well with seafood, grilled fish, light salads and goat cheese. This wine offers a refreshing and enjoyable drinking experience, perfect for both informal gatherings and festive occasions.
