Gros Manseng is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Southwest France region, particularly in the Jurançon and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh appellations. Known for its thick skin, it is well-suited to the region's humid climate, allowing it to develop rich flavors and high acidity. The grape is often used to produce both dry and sweet wines, with the latter being particularly renowned for their complexity and aromatic profile. Gros Manseng wines typically exhibit notes of tropical fruits, citrus, and floral elements, making them popular among wine enthusiasts.
