A smooth, ripe Bordeaux Blanc bursting with white peach flavours and superb lemon freshness. Concentrated apricot flavours on the palate are underpinned by spicy wood and the palate finishes with a long, rich, toasty note.

Talented winemaker Estelle Roumage is the fifth generation to work this estate in Entre-Deux-Mers (“between two seas”). Great attention is paid in the vineyard, where sustainable viticulture has been practiced since the beginning of the 1980s, and organic conversion is now under way. This Bordeaux Blanc is a blend dominated by Sauvignon Gris, a pink-coloured grape that is a clonal mutation of Sauvignon Blanc.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

“Barrel fermentation and a high percentage of Sauvignon Gris mark this out as an intriguing wine with a combination of complex, savoury, buttery flavours allied with notes of ginger, citrus fruit acidity and fleshiness on the palate. A touch of honey adds a lingering sweetness to the mineral-edged finish. This 45ha estate is located in the north of the Entre-deux-Mers, with Estelle Roumage making the wines.” 91 points
