This unique white wine from Château La Garde is grown in the Pessac-Léognan wine region. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon thrive here thanks to the cool climate in the vineyards. The vineyards are quite old, reaching thirty years, which contributes to their refined quality. Winemaker Frédéric Bonnaffous cultivates the grapes in various plots. This allows him to combine Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes after the hand harvest. The majority is reserved for Sauvignon Blanc, which accounts for almost ninety percent of this white wine. After pressing and blending, this white wine is aged for an impressive eight months in oak barrels. It also matures on the lees, creating a truly beautiful wine.
It's a joy to drink, and this wine is a match for the best Sancerre wines or other renowned French wine regions. Upon pouring, we see a beautiful, clear color with green and gold highlights. It has a fantastic aroma, offering hints of citrus fruit subtly combined with mineral notes. On the palate, it's a sensation, with abundant citrus fruit richness and hints of green herbs. A swirling of the wine on the palate reveals hints of citrus fruit, freshly mown grass, crisp acidity, and rounded flavors of apple and pear. A wine with its own unique character, yet so beautifully crafted, and a wine for every wine lover.
