The Bordeaux region, renowned for red wines, annually produces nearly seven million cases of distinctive white wines, notably in the Entre-Deux-Mers sub-region. Geographically located between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, its gravel-rich soils are ideal for crafting unique Sauvignon Blanc expressions. Artisan winemaker Jean Marc Barthez, president of a Monségur cooperative, challenges expectations with his unoaked Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from surrounding vineyards, it channels Bordeaux's terroir with cleansing acidity, citrus, and melon flavors. A small touch of Sémillon adds depth, creating a Bordeaux white with texture, elegance, and richness. Ideal with oysters, it pairs well with pan-seared trout or broiled lobster.
