Château Mezain White Bordeaux (75cl, 11.5%)

A white Bordeaux from the Entre-Deux-Mers appellation, made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc and bottled at 11.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The estate is owned by the Despagne family, seventh-generation winemakers known in the region for white wine production. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks with temperature control, on clayey-limestone soils. Serve well chilled, between 8–10°C, as an apéritif or with food. The nose opens with ripe passion fruit and peach, then grapefruit, lime and a subtle herbal lift, with a faint lavender note. The palate is crisp, with fresh citrus, green apple, pineapple and passion fruit, medium acidity and mineral undertones. The finish is clean and moderately long, with grapefruit pith, a hint of honey and a mineral edge.
