Profile

Description

White Bordeaux, usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, is one of the wine world's under-the-radar gems, and this example from Château Pilet is a great introduction to the style. This estate covers 65 hectares right in the heart of the commune of Donzac which is located in Entre Deux Mers, a region that sits between the two rivers, the Dorgogne and the Gironde. The name literally translates as "between two seas". Family owned and operated for more than 100 years.

Pairing

Pan-seared scallops, citrus-glazed chicken, herb-crusted goat cheese, fresh asparagus salad, and lemon-basil pasta.

Aromas and Flavours

Lemon-lime

Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.

Melon

Sweet and fruity, with a particular flavour/scent that resembles persimmons

Apple

From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.

Herbs

Your windowsill herb garden gives off a lovely herbal smell every time you walk by.

Grass

The invigorating smell of a freshly-mowed lawn before the heat of the day takes over.
