Question: Is the Gros Manseng grape being used in Bordeaux wines?
Answer: Gros Manseng is widely used in the Jurancon region of SW France producing white wines of open aromatics with good acidity. Bordeaux is searching out for other grape varieties of interest to help them adapt to climate change providing more options. Chateau du Tertre has for about 10 years been producing a dry white Bordeaux wine “Tertre Blanc” using it in a blend with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Viognier. Also remember that 6 new grapes were approved in 2021 being 4 red varieties of Arinarnoa, Castets, Marselan and Touriga Nacional plus 2 white Alvarinho & Liliorila.
