Médaille d'Or
Concours Paris
This white Bordeaux is a blend of Sauvignon (blanc and gris) and Semillon, and is highly aromatic on the nose, developing notes of citrus fruit, yellow peach and white flowers. Its fruity, floral character is balanced by roundness and acidic freshness. A cuvée offering incredible value for money, a must-have!

Domain rated (guide 2022) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at the right time of ripeness, vinified with care and aged soberly, produce irreproachable vintages at excellent prices in all three colors. The clay terroirs on limestone bedrock, located mainly in Génissac and Moulon, bring out the full flavor of the cuvées, but excessive oakiness can mask the spontaneity of the fruit.
