WINE DESCRIPTION
Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan Blanc is a judiciously oaked white blend from the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Bordeaux, France. The wine is composed mostly of Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of Sémillon that adds aromas of honeysuckle and toast, as well as a textural roundness. The grapes are harvested selectively on a row-by-row basis, ensuring that only ripe grapes are used for the wine. Following on from the fermentation, the wine is matured for around 8 months on lees in oak barrels, with occasional stirring to enhance the texture.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan Blanc shimmers in the glass with a brilliant, medium golden appearance.On the nose, this Pessac-Léognan Blanc shows excellent aromatic intensity, offering notes of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with subtle floral notes. There is also a hint of tropical fruit, adding a touch of exoticism to the aroma profile. The palate showcases a perfect balance between freshness and richness, with the crisp acidity providing the perfect counterpoint to the ripe citrus and tropical fruit. The fruit flavors are accompanied by a delicate minerality that adds depth and complexity to the relatively persistent finish.
