Chateau Sainte-Marie Vieilles Vignes Blanc, Entre-Deux-Mers 2017

70% Sauvignon blanc, 25% Sémillon, 5% Muscadelle

Stainless steel tank with weekly stirring of the lees.

Château Sainte-Marie is located in the middle of the prime wine-growing Entre-deux-Mers area between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. The ideally oriented plots stretch across two hills with perfect exposure to the sun on some of the highest land in the Gironde département.

Old vines with controlled yields, including a plot of Semillon and Merlot over 100 years old, guarantee the excellence of an ever more qualitative production.

This wine catches the attention with its high quality bouquet, which reveals pretty aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits (pink grapefruit). Its fine and distinctive nose is very well balanced. It reveals a great freshness and complexity on the palate.
