Château La Jalgue Cuvee Vitis Blanc Eleve en Futs de Chene

Château La Jalgue Cuvee Vitis Blanc Eleve and Futs de Chene. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from Bordeaux, France. Beautiful, classically vinified dry white Bordeaux. Deep yellow colored wine, nose of yellow apples and melon, hints of vanilla. In the initial approach, these flavors come back, supported by nice acidity underpinned by the wood aging.

Sauvignon Blanc also called fumé blanc, is the most important white grape of Bordeaux. Fresh, fruity wines are made along the Loire. In Sauternes, the grape is blended with the sémillon. Sauvignon blanc spread to the rest of the world through migrants in the 18th century. In wine regions with a temperate climate, the grape feels at its best. Sauvignon Blanc, locally called Surin, is one of the oldest grape varieties planted in France. Sauvignon Blanc has a characteristic perfume of flowers and gooseberries, is spicy but can be both astringent (around the upper Loire) and plump and round. The wines usually have high acidity. Sémillon, for dry but also sweet Bordeaux wines. The ripe grape is rich in sugar and very sensitive to noble rot (pourriture noble). The world’s most beautiful (sweet) wine, Sauternes, is made from this grape. The character of a young Semillon wine depends on the region. In cool areas: freshly fragrant

(sauvignon blanc esteem) with a fairly full taste. In warm areas: subdued scent of pebbles, full and sometimes cumbersome in taste with a low acidity. Characteristic is the mild bitterness in the taste and aftertaste.
