WINE DESCRIPTION
L'Ecole No 41 Sémillon is a premium white wine produced by L'Ecole No 41, a renowned winery in Columbia Valley, Washington. The wine is made from the Sémillon grape variety with a tiny amount of Sauvignon Blanc blended in, which is grown in the estate vineyards that feature well-draining soils and a cool climate. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and complex expression of Sémillon, with aromas of citrus, honey, and white flowers, and flavors of ripe pear, apricot, and vanilla. It has a rich texture and a long, refreshing finish, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a creamy texture and good acidity. The flavors of ripe pear, sweet almond and a hint of white pepper are framed by a crisp finish.
