Bordeaux AOC
Loading...
In 1995, we launched this revolutionary Bordeaux white and immediately won a prestigious IWC Trophy. Winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua has been fine tuning it ever since, hence the three Golds for this excellent vintage. It's gooseberry fresh and elegant.

The Wine
With the first release of this wine 22 years ago, we showed judges and consumers alike that Bordeaux whites could have the elegant restraint of France and also vibrant fruitiness – in those days that was a novelty. And so it won the International Wine Challenge ‘White Wine of the Year’. Over two decades later Haut-Brion trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua gets no less excited about his pride and joy – personally earmarking the best grapes from Sauveterre in the Entre Deux Mers and supervising every step of production. The result is a deliciously appetising white, with a perfect balance of grassy freshness, lemon and light tropical fruit and terrific zip. As equally at home as a glass on its own as it is with fish, salads or spicy noodles.
"Fine alternative to the overpriced, overpowering New Zealand sauvignons. This is gloriously creamy"
Guy Woodward on 2015
