Château Lespault-Martillac Pessac-Léognan White 2020

A bright, floral-edged white, with a lively honeysuckle note that runs the length of the wine, as the core of lemon curd, white peach and gooseberry stretches out slowly. Reveals a nice fleur de sel note inlaid on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2026.

Primary Grape
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is historically connected to two French winemaking regions: the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. It most likely originated in the former, which today still makes single-variety expressions to global acclaim. In Bordeaux, where the grape's roots also run centuries deep, winemakers blend Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon and small percentages of Muscadelle for dry whites and, in the Sauternes and Barsac appellations, world-renowned botrytized dessert wines.
