2021, Château Puygueraud, (Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux), Blanc
$48
The 2021 Puygueraud Blanc is bright, nervy and focused. Lemon peel, slate, crushed rocks, mint, white pepper and light tropical overtones all grace this taut, brilliant dry white. The 2021 is an ideal aperitif wine. 2023-2039.
91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
A blend of 64% Sauvignon Blanc and 36% Sauvignon Gris, the 2021 Blanc wafts from the glass with aromas of kiwi, grapefruit, lemon and lime tree leaves. Medium-bodied, juicy and fresh with a round, supple mid-palate, it’s well-balanced and finishes long and delicately bitter. 89 Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate (2024)
Amazing white, good value. Pale straw gold. Very floral with fresh honey, baked apple. Enough acidity to balance the roundness.
