Still hooked on Gros Manseng!

I always enjoy mentioning GM here so here is a recent TN from a domaine I rate very highly...Chiroulet. Think there is a note on the 2012 here somewhere.

TN: 2014 Famille Fezas Domaine Chiroulet Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne La Cote d`Heux.

Quite a few outlets here have this very nice white! $22 Cdn, 13% alc, 100% GM, Lot 01, good natural cork. I find it a go-to-white when one just wants to relax. Went well with chicken breast, roasted carrots and scallop potatoes.
Verging on a light to medium lemon in color. Quite a citrus feel on the nose, some herbal tones, spice, apricot maybe? Attractive indeed.
Initial entry thought is off-dry, very good acidity, nice fruit balance, mineral tone too. Some peach, lengthy finish, "crisp refreshing..nice for patio" from across the table. Grapefruit on day 2.
