Background:

Winemaking:
Les Arums de Lagrange Bordeaux Blanc 2020 is crafted from a precise blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, and Sémillon, hand-picked in the early morning to preserve freshness. The winemaking process involves gentle whole-bunch pressing, barrel fermentation in French oak, and a 6-month aging period on the lees.

Grapes: 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Semillon, 11% Sauvignon Gris & 6% Other

Tasting note:
With its pretty pale yellow robe, this Arums de Lagrange first offers intense aromas on the nose, with tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus and white peach. The attack is lively, with a generous mid­palate, and a pleasant roundness in the mouth, thanks to the ageing on lees and the 11% of Sémillon that was especially good in 2020. Tangy and beautifully balanced, this wine is ready to drink for those who enjoy fresh fruit sensations.

Food Pairing:
It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, sashimi, grilled or steamed white fish with ginger and scallions, roasted chicken, and soft goat cheeses.
