Les Arums de Lagrange – Bordeaux Blanc – White – 2023:

 

The Avant-Garde White of Médoc: Arums de Lagrange

Les Arums de Lagrange is a pioneering dry white wine from the esteemed Château Lagrange, establishing itself as one of the first great white wines produced in the Médoc. This cuvée masterfully balances the vibrant freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the creamy richness of Sémillon, delivering a luxurious and age-worthy profile.

Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Citrus and Oak

The wine presents a brilliant pale yellow color, leading to an intense and complex nose. It immediately captures attention with an explosion of zesty citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and voluptuous exotic fruits (pineapple, mango, white peach), underscored by elegant notes from its partial oak aging.

• Nose: Citrus zest, pineapple, white flowers, a hint of anise and toast.
• Palate: Lively attack, ample and round mid-palate, with a silky texture. The finish is long, fresh, and mineral, showcasing the wine’s exceptional balance.
• Style: A sophisticated, full-bodied white with a tension between vibrant acidity and creamy depth.
