Elegant Dry White
 |
Contrary to red wines, the grape juice for dry white wines if fermented without the skins. These are separated from the "must" or unfermented grape juice immediately after the grapes have been harvested. The wine is bottled within twelve months of the grapes being picked. Recently, Bordeaux oenologists have led the way in improving white winemaking techniques. This has led to a much higher quality of dry white Bordeaux wines, making them fresher, more aromatic and more complex. |
| SAUVIGNON
BLANC provides good acidity and sugar. It has huge aromatic
potential ranging from grassy notes to citrus and exotic fruits.
SÉMILLON produces rich, soft wines with aromas of apricots and peaches. MUSCADELLE has fairly low acidity but adds distinctive slightly musky, floral aromas. How to pick Dry white wines are generally made to be enjoyed young ( 1-3 years ) but some will improve even further with age. Remember, the hallmark of all Bordeaux wines is balance, so the style of Bordeaux dry white wines is perfect if your taste is for wines with a little, rather than a lot, of oak flavors. How to best serve Supple and lively, fruity or flowery white Bordeaux wines leave an incomparable able sensation of freshness in the mouth. They are best served at 6-8°C to appreciate all the aroma and flavors, so a couple of hours in the refrigerator is enough. They are excellent accompaniments to fish, seafood, salads and white meats and make a perfect light aperitif.
