Blanc Reserve Bordeaux AOC - Calvet

The powerful Blanc Reserve Bordeaux from the house of Calvet pours into the glass with a dense pale yellow. Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from France reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of pear, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

On the palate, the texture of this powerful white wine presents itself as wonderfully light and crisp. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Bordeaux wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of pear appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and sand-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Blanc Reserve Bordeaux from Calvet

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Blanc Reserve Bordeaux cuvée from Calvet are Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Bordeaux. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of sand and clay. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Blanc Reserve Bordeaux are harvested particularly quickly and at the coolest possible time of day to preserve their aromas. After hand-picking, the grapes are swiftly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures follows. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.

Food recommendation for the Blanc Reserve Bordeaux from Calvet
