Barons de Rothschild Bordeaux Réserve Spéciale Blanc 2013

Blog

2013 was a tough vintage in Bordeaux, Château Lafite Rothschild describes it as the worst vintage in over 30 years, though it is important to note that the whites generally fared better than the reds. Nevertheless, the estate has the pedigree to pull off a good wine in a challenging year, I was favorably impressed by this charming value Bordeaux Blanc. Sporting brisk acidity and pithy notes of white grapefruit rind and lime zest, star gazer lily fades into chalky minerality and a long, mouthwatering finish.
