Chateau Rahoul Blanc Graves 2020

Chateau Rahoul Blanc Graves 2020

Château Rahoul Blanc is made from a blend of Semillon (53-70%) and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-picked from each plot when they have reached optimum ripeness. To avoid damaging the bunches, they are transported in small boxes to the cellar, where they are pressed under protected conditions to prevent oxidation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small barriques, of which 15-20% are new, depending on the vintage. The wine is then aged for 8-9 months in the same barrels together with the wine's "lie" (leak).

The meticulous treatment, which is called "haute couture" at the château, creates a white Graves of exceptional quality. The high proportion of Sémillon gives the wine a full and meaty character, while Sauvignon Blanc adds a complex aroma and freshness. The wine has a light golden and clear color. The aroma is characterized by fresh, crisp notes of citrus fruits and green pears, with subtle hints of vanilla and exotic mango. The taste starts meaty and slightly smoky, but quickly develops into a harmonious and velvety finish. This white wine is suitable for several years of aging and is perfect for gastronomic experiences.
