Le Grand Chai Bordeaux Blanc 2020
Bordeaux AOC
Loading...
A rich, elegant white Bordeaux crafted by Chai winemaker and Sauvignon specialist Jean-Marc Sauboua. This vintage he discovered a top cuvée of pure Sauvignon Blanc, so good it has aged beautifully to lend more honeyed notes to the dry citrus fruit

The Wine
Winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua has won Trophies and Golds galore for his Bordeaux whites and this 2020 shows him on top form. For the Le Grand Chai range of wines he uses his enviable network of contacts to source top batches of wine from superior properties that need a home. He has discovered a top pick with this rich, complex white. The first sip reveals hallmark verve and zest with added sophistication, body and a lingering hint of toastiness - not from oak, but from its two years of age. 2020 was an exceptional vintage, so the fruit quality is a delight – great ripeness and intensity, with the acidity to allow a white wine like this to age well. A real modern classic – serve lightly chilled with asparagus or with fine seafood.
