Bordeaux Blanc - Chateau Grand Plantey

Bordeaux Blanc from Chateau Grand Plantey in Bordeaux presents a brilliant pale yellow color in the glass. This varietal French wine flatters in the glass wonderfully youthful and fragrant notes of mirabelle plums, apricots, nectarines and pomelo.

Hints of vineyard peach and lime are again apparent.
