La Mouliniere Bordeaux Blanc (75cl)

A crisp white Bordeaux blend from Chateau La Mouliniere, produced from vineyards along the right bank of the Dordogne River. The blend is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, bottled in 750ml. Fruit comes from five associated properties in the Fronsac area. Yields are kept to 50 hectolitres per hectare. Grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 64°F over 12 days, then matured on fine lees with periodic stirring. The aroma is grapefruit and lemon, with boxwood and a floral lift. The palate is lively, with green apple, lime, litchi, citrus zest and a mineral backbone, with gentle roundness from the Semillon. The finish is clean and mineral-driven, with lime peel and grapefruit.
