Description
A French Grand Vin from Graves, Bordeaux, this white wine from Chateau des Gravieres uses hand picked Semillon and Sauvignon grapes from 30 year old vines cultivated on a 3 hectare gravel soil vineyard. Cool fermentation and 6 months' lees ageing of the equal blend produces a classic example of a white Bordeaux. Layered complexity is still evident without any oak treatment, with a bouquet of peach, lime juice and delicate white flowers. The palate brings succulent, rounded texture with honeydew melon, light vanilla and toasty notes. Pair with white fish or light salad, pasta or vegetable dishes.
