Château La Louvière Blanc 2000 Pessac-Léognan (75cl)

A white Bordeaux from Pessac-Léognan, blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, from the 2000 vintage and with over twenty years in bottle. Aged white Bordeaux is a rare thing to find open on a table, which is part of the appeal. Serve around 12°C, not colder, in a proper white wine glass. It can make a thoughtful birth-year gift when the year means something to the recipient. Aged white Bordeaux usually moves from fresh citrus toward honey, beeswax, toasted nuts and dried orange peel, typically keeping a line of acidity underneath.
