Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc 2019 750ml

This wine is a brilliant golden-yellow colour. The initial impression on the nose is of white flower (acacia) aromas, alongside brioche and butter overtones. Starts out delicious, round and rich with beautiful minerality. Notes of beeswax and honey follow through to the palate, underpinned by orange zest nuances, and enhanced by a rich, velvety mouth-feel and silky texture. The incredibly long aftertaste is reminiscent of full-bodied flavours. The overall impression is of a delicious and refined wine with a great deal of elegance.

Varietal

White Bordeaux

France is widely known as being the home of many of the world’s finest white wines, and within France, the name which rings out across the wine world and is always associated with excellence of quality and flavor is Bordeaux. The white wines of the magnificent Bordeaux region are typically blended, and rely on the winemaker’s skill and expertise to achieve the fine balance between the primary grape varietals used. Most blended white Bordeaux wines are made up of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle varietals, although there are actually nine grapes officially allowed by French wine law for the inclusion in Bordeaux white wines. The other six are Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac, although the use of these other grapes has been in steady decline over the past century.
