A dry white wine from Pessac-Léognan AOC (Bordeaux, France), made mainly from Sauvignon Blanc with small amounts of Sémillon and Muscadelle. The cool 2021 vintage delivered exceptional aromatic purity and high acidity. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, giving depth and structure while preserving freshness. Style — White – Savory and Classic.
Tasting notes
Pale lemon with a green hue. Aromas of citrus, lime, grapefruit, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs, and a pronounced mineral freshness. On the palate — dry, crisp, and concentrated, with excellent balance between acidity and fruit, a touch of creaminess, and a very long, mineral-rich finish.
Pairing
Perfect with oysters, sea bass, butter-seared prawns, goat cheese, and fresh salads with citrus dressing.

Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a white-wine grape from western France, now successfully grown in emerging and established wine regions all over the world. The variety produces lightly colored, aromatic dry white wines with fresh acidity. Synonyms: Fumé Blanc, Sauvignon Bianco, Muskat-Silvaner, Muskat-Sylvaner.
Pessac-Leognan
These are considered to be ones of the most complex and tasty wines of Bordeaux. White wines, mostly made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes, are undoubtedly the best in Bordeaux with the ageing time of up 15 years. A red wine house that should be highlighted is Château Haut-Brion - one of the five cult wine houses from the 1855 classification. The soil here is rather sandy so wines are very aromatic. Winemakers use all the grapes allowed in the region in red wine blends.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
