La Belle France 2019 Bordeaux Blanc Bordeaux AOP, France

Description

It’s no secret that Bordeaux produces some of the most stunning wines in the world. The region boasts a near-perfect climate for winegrowing; warm days and cooler evenings allow the fruit to ripen perfectly and develop bold flavors and natural acidity that shine in the bottle. Known for its bold red blends, white Bordeaux blends are just as incredible, and our La Belle France Bordeaux Blanc is no exception. Fruit used for this Sauvignon Blanc-based blend came from vineyards planted with steep sloping hillsides and significant temperature swings. Both of these elements require grapes to work harder during the growing season, which results in beautiful flavor development. Critics loved this wine nearly as much as our winemakers loved crafting it, as it earned 91 points and a Gold Medal in the 2020 Sommelier Challenge. With notes of tart fruit and delicious acidity, this wine will impress even the most skeptical white wine drinkers and pairs perfectly with lighter French cuisine.
