Floc de Gascogne

Elsewhere in France analogous drinks are made (Pineau des Charentes in the Cognac zone, Macvin in Jura; there is also Pommeau, similarly made by blending apple juice and apple brandy).

Floc de Gascogne is produced according to a recipe that has been in use in the French region of Gascony since the 16th century.

The name "Floc de Gascogne" was coined by Henri Lamor, a winemaker from Cravencères, in 1954.

Floc de Gascogne is produced in both white and rosé varieties.

Almond, jasmine, roses, honey, black fruit and condiments are characteristic notes.
