Comtesse de Malet Roquefort Bordeaux Blanc 2021

Hi Folks, Welcome to 2024! For our first newsletter back we have a brand new French White never seen before at European Wine Store. The Comtesse de Malet Roquefort Bordeaux Blanc 2021 is our debut entry into the world of Bordeaux Blanc!. We discovered this wine late last year, and once we tried it, we came to the conclusion that this is why Bordeaux Blanc is celebrated the world over!

So what's it like? Well this intriguing Bordeaux Blanc is highlighted by bright aromas of citrus, lemon zest and mineral tones with touches of herbs, fleshy fruits in a dry mouth-watering style. Its a delight to drink! And it good to know that we're not alone in singing the praises of this White Bordeaux with our colleagues across the Atlantic most impressed with the quality emanating from the 2021 release!

''Bright on the nose with dominating citrus characteristics. Well rounded texture, with long finish. Really great quality wine, value for money.'' Sommelier Choice Awards 2023

''There is no doubt that 2021 is a white wine vintage in Bordeaux. The 2021's are brilliantly crisp, aromatic with well defined fruit and bright acidity.'' Jancis Robinson

''Bordeaux Blanc's express intensely flavoured aromatics, liveliness, crisp acidity, textural honeyed roundness, age ability and delicious drinking in a glass.'' Lauren Mowery, Forbes.com 

We may have been a little late to the party on showcasing a Bordeaux Blanc to you, but we truly believe we've struck White Gold with this sub -$30 quality release from Famille de Malet Roquefort located in Saint-Émilion with a winemaking history going all the way back to 1705. Enjoy!
