These white wines of Bordeaux develop varietal aromas from the Semillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle varieties, for a complex, fascinating, and gourmet nose. In the mouth, they have the perfect balance between freshness and flavor. These wines are suitable for any occasion, from the most relaxed to the most elegant receptions complementing a wide variety of dishes.
