A new vintage, the 2010 was rated: Gault Millau 15/20
A lovely white Bordeaux with a fresh, minty character, featuring grapefruit-like fruitiness and exquisite notes of tropical fruit. It has a lovely freshness on the palate, with all the surprising richness of Sauvignon Gris coming through on the finish. A must-have for summer!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2015 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A perfectionist, Stéphane Donze has set himself the demanding task of producing wines that far exceed the region’s usual standards. After purchasing the estate, he and his wife Lucie spent fifteen years closely studying and observing the layout of their vineyards. This painstaking work—always pushing the limits of risk—has enabled them to achieve perfect ripeness and great precision in their wines.

The Château Martinat vineyard, which currently spans 24 hectares, is located in the commune of Lansac, within the Côtes de Bourg appellation; the terroir consists primarily of fine gravel and red and brown clay. With an average age of around 40 years, the vines are predominantly Merlot (60% to 70% in the blends) and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of Malbec. Lucie and Stéphane Donze also offer a white wine, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
