Chateau Loudenne Bordeaux Blanc 2018 750 ML

As often quoted in the Medoc, “There is no great vineyard which cannot see the river.” Located west of the river Gironde, Chateau Loudenne stretches over a superb estate of 154 planted acres, and is one of the few Chateaux that can boast a waterfront view of the Gironde.\n\nIn 1880, Loudenne became the first Medoc peninsula Chateau to produce a white wine. Since then, Loudenne has been creating a dry white Bordeaux that is both lively and balanced, blended from cask-aged Sauvignon and Semillon.\n\nThe grapes are hand harvested into small crates in the early morning to benefit from the coolness of the night, sorted on arrival the entire bunches of grapes are transferred to the press. Protected from oxygenation and at low temperature, they undergo a slow and very gentle pressing lasting several hours.\n75% in barrels made solely of French oak by Bordeaux coopers. Gentle, moderate heat. One third of barrels renewed each year. 25% in casks to preserve the flavor expression of the Sauvignons. No malolactic fermentation.
