Meanings
plural mansengs
- Any of several grape varieties and associated wines from southwest France
But gros manseng’s sibling, petit manseng, is the real star, adding still more depth and intensity of tropical fruit to a wine such as Château de Cabidos Petit Manseng Sec Cuvée Comte Philippe 2009 (£15.95, South Downs Cellars ).
