"A unique and unusual white wine from Bordeaux!"
In keeping with the 2020 and 2021 vintages, the 2022 vintage stands out as THE atypical white wine of Bordeaux with its original blend of Sémillon and Colombard.

About the estate:
On the heights of Bourg, an estate that has been in the family for over a century, dominated by a small 15th-century castle, renovated in the 19th century, with pepperpot towers. Valérie and Philippe Bassereau took over in 1990. The size of the vineyard (45 hectares) allows them to offer wines that are anything but obscure.
