"A unique and atypical Bordeaux white wine!
Following in the footsteps of the 2020 and 2021, the 2022 vintage is THE atypical Bordeaux white wine, with its original blend of Sémillon and Colombard. A true Favorite of the team, its ageing in oak barrels gives it subtle, mellow aromas of slightly buttery woodiness, coupled with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit and acacia flower. The wine is fat and velvety, with a lively finish. A price/pleasure ratio not to be missed!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
On the heights of Bourg, an estate that has been in the family for over a century, commanded by a small 15th-century château revisited in the 19th century, with pepper-pot towers. Valérie and Philippe Bassereau took over the reins in 1990. The size of the vineyard (45 ha) enables them to offer wines that are anything but confidential.
