NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château de Respide Callipyge Graves Blanc exhibits a bright, pale gold color, indicative of its freshness and vitality.The nose is an enticing mix of floral notes, such as acacia and honeysuckle, paired with crisp green apple and citrus zest, and a hint of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is lively and refreshing, with a balanced acidity that highlights its citrus and stone fruit flavors, particularly lemon and white peach. The oak aging adds a creamy texture and a hint of spice, contributing to the wine's complexity. The finish is long and clean, with a mineral edge that is characteristic of the Graves terroir.
