2021 Pagodes de Cos Blanc, Bordeaux

Sauvignon Blanc 85%, Sémillon 15%.

This is produced in small volumes. It comes from vines in the Port de Goulée in the northern Médoc, by the mouth of the Gironde Estuary. Some vines are as old as 37. This Sauvignon-dominated blend has a tropical nose, with ripe apricots, mangoes, gooseberries and a hint of ginger spice. The palate is rich and juicy but balanced by a fresh burst of acidity and a saline finish.
