Bordeaux Blanc AOC 2024, Chateau La Croix du Grand Jard
White Bordeaux made from 100% Sauvignon blanc and packed with fresh, zingy flavours. Small production from only 2.5 hectares of land.
In the glass
Pale gold with green tints. Grassy, citrus aromas with a fresh attack, more lemony overtones with blackcurrant leaf and grassy undertones. Lovely, long and zingy finish.
Made by Tony Martin at his family vineyard, where they've been using traditional, low intervention methods since the 19th century. Grapes are hand harvested and only the best are selected on sorting tables. After a short maceration, the wine is vinified in an air-free environment before being aged on lees for four months with regular stirring (batonage) to provide roundness and body.
About the vineyard
Tony Martin took over the family vineyard around 5 years ago. although still works with his parents in developing this small, sustainable HVE certified Bordeaux terroir that has been in their family since the 1970s. The Chateau La Croix du Grand Jard is their signature Claret and highly recommended for a fruit forward bordeaux at an excellent price.
