Les Champs Libres Bordeaux Blanc 2019
Peach, nectarine, citrus, slate and oyster shell aromatics make you salivate even before you taste the wine. This is followed by grip and poise on the palate, with pummice stone scraping from the first moment, with a curl of gunsmoke reduction. It evolves in the glass, showing tension and balance, along with creamy citrus fruits. Just love this wine, increasingly setting the pace for white Bordeaux and truly worth seeking out. 100% Sancerre genetics for the Sauvignon Blanc, vinified entirely in new oak, in a mix of Burgundy barrels and larger-sized oak casks. Harvest September 6 to 9. From the same family as Château Lafleur in Pomerol.
