WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Thénac Fleur de Thénac Blanc is a refined white wine that embodies centuries of winemaking heritage and modern innovation. Nestled on the limestone slopes of Dordogne, this historic estate dates back to 1109, where Benedictine monks first recognized its exceptional terroir. Today, under the stewardship of the Shvidler family, the vineyard thrives on clay-limestone soils at an altitude of 150–200 meters, benefiting from a unique microclimate that ensures optimal ripeness and aromatic freshness. Crafted from 35-year-old vines, the grapes are gently pressed using pneumatic techniques and aged for 8 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The result is an elegant, terroir-driven wine that blends tradition with meticulous craftsmanship.

This Château Thénac Fleur de Thénac Blanc offers a bright, floral nose with aromas of peach, white flowers, and orange blossom.On the palate, it is fresh and lively with a vibrant acidity, complementing flavors of citrus, apricot, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing. Overall, this is a delightful white wine with a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
