Château Rioublanc's Bordeaux Blanc comes from the commune of Saint-Ciers-d'Abzac, north-east of Bordeaux. Here the Château stands on a plateau of clay and silica, with ferrous inclusions that give the wines a unique structure and unmistakable elegance. This corner of France, less well known than other areas of Bordeaux, is a real hidden gem, where the vineyards extend between woods and small streams, creating a microclimate ideal for viticulture. This wine is a particularly balanced and pleasant blend of three grape varieties: Sauvignon (60%), Sémillon (30%) and Colombard (10%). The grapes are picked by hand and pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. The must is then cooled for several days of cold stabilisation, enhancing the aromas and giving it great richness. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged on the fine lees, acquiring greater complexity and smoothness. The nose is regal with an intense and elegant aromatic profile. There are notes of pear, peach, citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, and white flowers. In the mouth, the attack is fresh and lively, with good volume and a long and pleasant aromatic persistence. Intended to be drunk young, when its aromas are at their maximum expression, it goes well with fish dishes such as baked sea bass or oysters. It's also excellent with fresh salads and goat's cheese.
