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

France is widely known as being the home of many of the world's finest white wines, and within France, the name which rings out across the wine world and is always associated with excellence of quality and flavor is Bordeaux. The white wines of the magnificent Bordeaux region are typically blended, and rely on the winemaker's skill and expertise to achieve the fine balance between the primary grape varietals used. Most blended white Bordeaux wines are made up of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle varietals, although there are actually nine grapes officially allowed by French wine law for the inclusion in Bordeaux white wines. The other six are Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac, although the use of these other grapes has been in steady decline over the past century.

Region: Bordeaux

The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.

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.
