Château du Retout Vin de France Le Retout Blanc 2022
Another of the iconic Vin de France wines grown in the Médoc, with a history dating back to the 2011 vintage, during which time it has established itself as a distinct and enjoyable bottle. This is riven through with contrasting flavours, with supple stone fruits set against fairly sharp bitter almond and honeysuckle. Aged in oak barrels, this is good quality but not reaching the heights of the 2021 vintage (although it expressed better during En Primeur, so was perhaps bottle variation). 1.5ha of sandy-clay soils. 77% aged in barrel, 23% in amhphora.
