Château Reynon – Bordeaux Blanc 2022

12,90 €

Château Reynon, owned by the Dubourdieu family, is always on the lookout for new experiences, and it was here, as at Clos Floridène (Graves), that Denis Dubourdieu developed and defined the style of his reds and his famous dry Sauvignon Blancs, which earned him the nickname of the ‘Pope of Whites’ and contributed to his worldwide renown.
Château Reynon’s white is a fresh, vibrant wine, with aromas of green apple on a chalky background, which is crisp and delicious on the palate, harmonious from start to finish. A fantastic Sauvignon Blanc that demonstrates the nobility of Dubourdieu’s style, always offering wines of great aromatic purity in which complexity takes precedence over power.

Description

Château Reynon, in Béguey in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, was purchased in 1958 by Florence Dubourdieu’s father, Jacques David; his daughter and son-in-law, Denis Dubourdieu, succeeded him in 1976. Thanks to their efforts, Château Reynon is today one of the most renowned crus of the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. The picking is done manually in general in one go and if necessary by 2 successive sortings of golden grapes which have reached their aromatic optimum. After a possible phase of pellicular maceration, the slow extraction of the juices is carried out sheltered from oxidation. The free run musts are rigorously separated from the press musts and their clarification is done by natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place in vats. The aging is carried out on the lees for 5 to 7 months until bottling.
