Le Temps des Rcoltes 2020 Bordeaux Blanc Bordeaux AOP, France

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking From the vineyard to the winery, temperature is key to capturing the essence of this historic blend. To capitalize on a successful vintage, harvest is swift, and grapes are kept cool on their way to the winery as soon as they leave the vine. These low temperatures are maintained throughout fermentation, encouraging Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon to showcase their elegant, floral aromatics, citrus-driven palate and hallmark textures.

Vintage Our 2020 vintage kicked off to an early start. As vines awoke from their winter rest, they were greeted by a wet spring, followed by a dry, hot summer with the occasional roar of thirst-quenching thunderstorms across the region. Bordeaux’s signature maritime influences kept high daytime temperatures in check, preventing overripening. Harvest took place in early September to avoid the late autumn’s impending heat and heavy rains, resulting in impeccably balanced wines exemplary of this timeless region.
