2023 Les Arums de Lagrange, Bordeaux Blanc

The white wine of Château Lagrange, a historic Third Growth estate in Saint-Julien, made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris. The grapes are hand-harvested in cool morning hours, then fermented cold in stainless steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels, with lees ageing and light bâtonnage. The sandy gravel and limestone soils and maritime climate give aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. It shows citrus, lime blossom, white flowers and stone fruit, with a crisp palate of citrus, green apple, peach and subtle vanilla and cream, plus a long mineral finish.
