Sirius Blanc | Bordeaux Sec
White wine | France, BORDEAUX | 2024
A brilliant, limpid pale yellow hue clothes this rich and complex wine with its notes of citrus fruit, white blossom and tropical fruits, such as mango and passion fruit. The front-of-palate is beautifully fresh, evolving to reveal generous extract and great freshness. Slightly toasty notes on the finish, which seems to go on and on. Definitely a great white wine, crafted for freshness, with the taste of Sauvignon Blanc dominating. Served chilled, it will make a marvellous aperitif drink to enjoy with friends, or a summer meal.

Vinification
The grapes are carefully selected before being fermented and aged in oak in exactly the same way as the Grands Crus Classés of Graves and Pessac-Léognan. Sirius White is situated at the high end of the Bordeaux category; Sémillon is the principal grape variety, bringing the lushness of tropical fruit to the more tangy Sauvignon. A discreet, pared-down label for a modern chic, wine, equally ideal for trendy bistros or gourmet restaurants. Also exists in Red and Rosé.
