Domaine l'Enclos
Domaine l'Enclos operates in Gascogne, the historic wine region of South West France known for distinctive white varieties and regional character. The domaine works with grapes native to the area: Colombard and Ugni Blanc, which form the backbone of a dry white blend rated 87.5 by Wine Spectator, and Gros Manseng, used for a moelleux that scored 87.0. These varieties thrive in Gascogne's continental climate and sandy soils, producing wines with the region's signature profile—crisp acidity, aromatic intensity, and minerality in the dry whites, and honeyed complexity in the sweet expression. The domaine's focus on these traditional regional grapes reflects the terroir of South West France, where Colombard and Ugni Blanc have long defined the local identity.
