This pretty Gewurztraminer has golden yellow hints. Nice aromatic intensity and exotic fruits. The bouquet is intense and develops rich aromas of exotic fruit (passion, pineapple, litchi), flowers (roses) and spices (pepper, cinnamon). Round and well-balanced with good persistence, finishing on spicy notes.
I went out of my way last year to visit this beautiful property located right in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers between the Garonne and the Dordogne, not far from Saint-Émilion. A very beautiful terroir, and their Merlot based red is easy-drinking yet has some very fine complexity. WSJ columnist Lettie Teague wrote up the Chateau after we sent her a bottle to try for one of her columns. Perfect burger on the grill wine! -Phil
Phil "discovered" this wine in a chance meeting at the Air France lounge in Bordeaux! This blend of 70% Sauvignon blanc, 20% Sémillon, 10% Muscadelle is a textbook white Bordeaux that is wonderfully crisp and jut plain fun to drink. Fun fact: Hubert De Boüard (owner of Chateau Angelus in St. Emilion) consults on this wine!
A bright, fruity style, this white sports peach and apple flavors accented by floral and honey hints. Charming and balanced, with echoes of fruit on the finish. Drink now.
