PRAISE
A beautiful white wine made from the most obscure grape in all of Bordeaux.
- Description
- Grapes, Region, etc.
“The Tower of the Pigeons” Made from Sauvignon Gris, a pink-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc that is a rarity in Bordeaux, accounting for less than 1% of plantings. Fermented with indigenous yeast and matured on lees in stainless steel, this wine has bright, spicy aromas of lemon confit, green apple, and tropical fruit leading to a palate reminiscent of toasted spice, fresh peach, creamy pear, and beeswax.
Entre Deux Mers, located east of Bordeaux and 20km south of Saint Émilion, has a temperate, oceanic climate and terrain comprising a vast diversity of reliefs, exposures, and soils. Château Rouquette — one of the oldest estates in the region — is owned and operated by vigneron Christophe Widcoq, whose approach to wine growing begins with respect for the land; the domain has started its conversion to organics with the goal of being recognized by Bureau Veritas in France by 2024.
