The 2019 Clos Marsalette Blanc shows a riper, more tropical style while still saying fresh, lively, and crisp. Terrific pineapple, tart peach, and floral notes all define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, has terrific purity, and a clean, lengthy finish.

The 2019 Clos Marsalette Blanc is super-distinctive. Fresh and taut on the palate, the 2019 offers up a whole range of tropical inflections that are so appealing. A hint of lime, jasmine and mint leaves a Riesling-like note on the creamy, inviting finish. This is such an attractive white.

As with the red this has trademark glamour and a creamy texture. It works extremely well, giving a white that has lift and freshness but also depth and a round mouthfeel that makes it easy to love. Drinking Window 2021 - 2028.

The Clos Marsalette 2019 Blanc has an expressive nose of honeyed white peaches, spiced pears and fresh grapefruit with touches of paraffin wax, nutmeg and baker's yeast. Medium-bodied, the palate has a nice suggestion of creaminess to the texture, with a zippy backbone and loads of fresh, crunchy stone fruit and spiced-apple flavors on the finish.

Distinctive, featuring a very floral and expressive profile marked by honeysuckle, Meyer lemon and Persian lime notes that breeze along, with flecks of Muscat-like spiciness throughout. The finish is underscored by a minerally accent. This isn't for everyone. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now through 2025. 630 cases made, 60 cases imported.

Varietal: White Bordeaux

When it comes to blended white wines, few regions in the world have a reputation quite as famed or respected as that of Bordeaux. The blended white wines of this special region are most commonly made using a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grape varietals, although there are six other varietals allowed for the inclusion in Bordeaux white wines by French law. However, the other six - Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac – are seen less and less frequently in blended white Bordeaux wines today. The wineries of Bordeaux make the most of their warm, humid climate to ensure that the grapes are harvested when they are beautifully ripened, and have centuries of experience and expertise when it comes to coaxing out their best features, and balancing each others characteristics in the bottle.

Region: Bordeaux

Although most commonly associated with their superb blended red wines, the world-famous region of Bordeaux in France is responsible for a relatively wide array of wines, ranging from the sweet and viscous white wines of Sauternes, to the dry and acidic single variety white wines found all over the region. However, it is the red wines which regularly make the wine world's headlines, and have historically been regarded as the finest on earth. The secret to the region's success is the fact that the warm and humid climate, coupled with mineral rich clay and gravel based soils produces grapes of excellent quality. Wineries in this region have spent hundreds of years mastering the art of blending and oak aging in order to get the best results from each grape, and remain the envy of the world to this day.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
