Ch. Philippe Jacques Co. 2019 Bordeaux Blanc Bordeaux AOP, France

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Once picked, our grapes are kept cool on their way to the winery and throughout each stage of the winemaking process. These low temperatures are essential to capture Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon’s natural freshness and flavor. Our winemakers sample different blend proportions throughout the wine’s journey to identify the ideal ratio of these two grape varieties, shaping a final blend that is the perfect balance of opulent and bright.

Vintage 2019 was hot and dry in the vineyards of Bordeaux, with a quarter less rainfall than usual for summertime. While our fellow Bordelaise welcomed these uncharacteristically clear skies by soaking up the sun, we kept busy in the vineyard, ensuring our vine’s canopies remained leafy and lush to shade our delicate white grapes. Still, these high temperatures accelerated ripening, moving harvest up into August. The resulting wines are riper than usual but still dominated by freshness and finesse.
