Wine of the Week
2018 Château de Fontenille
Grand Bordeaux Entre-deux-Mers
Bordeaux, France
For everyone who has asked why we don’t ever feature a white wine, this week’s W.O.W. is a highly rated white blend from the Entre-deux-Mers sub-region of Bordeaux. The literal translation is "between two seas", although they are in fact two rivers – the Garonne and Dordogne, forming the area's southern and northern boundaries. This wine is 40% Sauvignon Blanc with equal amounts of Sauvignon Gris, Semillon and Muscadelle and a refreshing sipper for these hot summer days.
90 Points, Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast:
“Stéphane Defraine's full-bodied, ripe wine presents bold white-stone-fruit flavors that contrast with the layers of acidity and mineral texture.”
Tasting Notes:
“Light gold color. Nose with an interesting and immediate pureness, with aromas of citrus fruit and white peaches. The entry is sharp and ample at the same time. The palate is nicely well balanced. It has a pleasant fat and the finale is lightly peppery, with a nice lingering finish.”
This is the perfect accompaniment for all kinds of seafood as well as sushi, summer salads and goat cheese.
