bordeaux blanc

Bordeaux is arguably the king of wine regions, producing many mind-blowing red blends. Now, I don’t know about you, but for me, even the most mind-blowing big red doesn’t fly when the sun starts staying high in the sky, baking the backyard long into the evening hours. However, Bordeaux also produces some of the most under-valued white wines in the world. So this month I bring you a nod to the “king” with a taste of some of his more season-suited wines.

2007 Chateau Lamothe de Haux
An interesting blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and  20% 
Muscadelle, this is a lovely little wine with a wildflower perfume on 
the nose and green herbs and tropical fruit on the palate.

2005 Divinus de Chateau Bonnet
Surprisingly big, bold and untamed for a Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, 
Divinus offers a hard hit of orange zest and lemongrass. But, like a 
hot chick with a personality disorder, it mellows on the mid-palate 
with lovely lemon and a hint of honey. Strange? Yes. Tasty? Definitely.

2005 Chateau les Tuileries
Clean, fresh and thirst quenching, this is a great wine for a meal of 
spring veg and an anytime palate pleaser. An elegant, creamy 
mouthfeel combine with a clean finish make it an impressive choice 
for its $15 and under price tag.

2006 Chateau la Rose du Pin
A lively little Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc blend, this is a fresh, 
simple wine with floral aromas, good acid and a clean finish.

2004 Chateau de Cruzeau
An extremely big, serious wine for the price, it offers a hint of oak 
on the aroma as well as a touch of bitter herbs. It has enough weight 
to stand up to any dinner and balance and length to make it a great 
choice for serving to your pickiest wine friends.
