“ "Juicy, crisp lemons, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, and white peach create a robust bouquet. The wine is fresh, creamy, and lively, leaving you with soft, creamy notes of green apple and lime. Best value in the Bordeaux Blanc appellation for this vintage!" (The Wine Cellar, Jeff Leve, 2021)

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2014 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
"The Thienpont family, owners of the estate since 1946, revived the Côtes de Francs appellation in 1983 with this premier cru. Nicolas Thienpont, who also oversees a premier cru classé in Saint-Emilion, produces a full-bodied, generous wine with well-controlled oak, designed for decent aging (five to ten years). The estate is consistent, and the vintages are of a high standard. In tribute to his father George, Nicolas Thienpont has created a cuvée bearing his father’s name, characterized by Malbec, a grape variety he particularly appreciated. A wine of strong character, yet not lacking in finesse.”

About the wine:
Aromas of green apple, lemon, and mineral notes. It is medium-bodied with a lively, tangy acidity. The finish is lively and lemony.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
I love this estate's white wines, and the 2018 Château Puygueraud is a vibrant, almost elegant wine, with plenty of citrus fruit and a hint of minerality, medium-bodied richness, and lively acidity.
