Chateau Fonfroide Bordeaux Blanc 2022
GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard
91 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"A classic blend of 78% Sémillon, 12% Muscadelle, and 10% Sauvignon. Lovely freshness here, plenty of ripe green summer fruit aromas and flavours. Takes fresh sea food to another level! Another great example of great value white bordeaux"

Perched on a cliff overlooking Bordeaux’s meandering Durezes River stands Chateau Fonfroide. A cold spring on the property gives the chateau its name and helps irrigate the 185 acre vineyard. The terrior is limestone and clay soil, tilled and cared for by the Dutheillet de Lamothe family for over 300 years.
Medium yellow in color. Fresh citrus flavor such as lemon, citrus peel with a touch of grassy. Good acidity and balanced with smooth mouthfeel. Fruit driven wine.
ABV: 12%
