Château Puygueraud Blanc – Francs Côtes de Bordeaux – White – 2020:

 

The Right Bank’s Best Kept Secret in White Wine

PUYGUERAUD BLANC is a standout dry white Bordeaux, crafted by the renowned Thienpont family in the limestone-rich Francs Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. This wine is a brilliant blend, showcasing the aromatic intensity of Sauvignon Blanc and the textural richness of Sauvignon Gris-a rare and coveted component in the region.

Tasting Notes: Crisp, Complex, and Minerally

On the nose, expect a vibrant explosion of citrus zest (lemon, grapefruit) layered with white orchard fruit (peach, pear) and distinctive mineral notes-like wet stone. The palate is immediately fresh and focused, underpinned by a balanced acidity and a welcome ‘heft’ or creamy texture, often due to partial barrel fermentation. The finish is long, clean, and savory. It’s a versatile, high-value white that punches well above its weight.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve chilled (50-54°F) to highlight its vibrant acidity. This wine is designed for the dinner table, excelling with refined seafood dishes.
