Often overlooked in the US, Bordeaux blanc can be a fantastic value, as is the case with this wine from Dourthe. Lean and wiry, perhaps in part, owing to vintage, Id love to taste a compare the 2013 to a warmer year. The primary expression is herbal, with a nose of gooseberry and boxwood and a zesty top note of lime oil. On the palate, there is very little fruit shining through, it’s quite savory, underpinned by white grapefruit, sea salt and vibrant energy that cascades to a mouthwatering finish. 13.0% ABV | Sample
