Le Retout Blanc VdF 2018, Chateau du Retout
Extremely rare find.
Multi award winning including 18/20 from Jancis Robinson, 94/100 from James Molesworth wine spectator and 90/100 from James Suckling.
The only wine of its kind in the world. Made from a blend of four grape varieties (originally from different French regions), planted on 1.8 hectares of this well-known Haut Medoc Bordeaux Chateau, produce a wine unlike any other in the world. Only 9000 bottles are produced by year. The grapes are hand harvested and then selected on sorting table. Temperature controlled fermentation with vinification on lees in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 10 months in oak and amphora.
Bright elegant colour with complex, multi-layered citrus white flower nose and an exuberant, fresh palate packed with lemon thyme, vine peach, chamomile, apricot and orange zest. A gem for the connoisseur of white Bordeaux.
