Tasting Notes Opens with expressive citrus aromas - ripe lemon, zesty grapefruit, juicy white peach, and star fruit. The palate offers crisp clarity, lighter weight, and vibrant fruit qualities. Poised and well-calibrated, the wine ends with a dry, mouth-watering finish leaving delicate aromatic highlights. A well-made example of a basic white Bordeaux that drinks well above its humble price point.
Winemaking After a period of cold settling, a 10-day fermentation at low temperature allows the maximum aromatic release and brings great fineness to the wine.

- Briny oysters
