"An ideal white for aperitifs!
Made from a blend of wines from different partner vineyards, Cheval Noir Bordeaux Blanc reflects the expertise and skills of our oenologists. Extensive research is carried out in the Bordeaux vineyards to identify the terroirs most conducive to the ripening of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety, which makes up the majority of Cheval Noir Bordeaux Blanc. Sémillon adds roundness to the wine. This Bordeaux is a fresh white wine, to be drunk young with an aperitif, shellfish or white meat.

About the domain :
The name refers to the powerful black horses used for harvesting in the 19th century, and became a brand in 1895, the oldest in Bordeaux. It was taken over in 1937 by the venerable Mähler-Besse trading house, founded in 1892 and co-owner of Château Palmer in Margaux. The estate covers 4.5 ha.

Still a little young but already very pleasant, lively and suitable for shellfish, for example.
