Alto de Cantenac Brown2019

WHITE WINE

Description

For many years, the magnicient Grand Cru Classé of Château Cantenac Brown has been accompanied by BriO de Cantenac Brown, a special parcel selection from Cantenac Brown vineyards. But in 2011, our family expands with the addition of AltO de Cantenac Brown, our white wine. We are fortunate to own a wonderful plot of clay and calcareous soil cool enough to produce a ne white wine. 1.80 hectares are planted to Sauvignon blanc (90%) and Semillon (10%) for a production of only 7,000 to 8,000 bottles a year. Fermented in barrel, 90% 1 year oak barrels and 10% new oak. We wished to make a wine of nice minerality, beautiful aromas, and a wine for Gastronomical table. Elegant and delicate, AltO pays hommage to the art of music, while at the same time complimenting the entire Cantenac Brown gamut of wines. A perfect addition !

Tasting notes

This wine is pale/deep gold, developing a nose of exotic fruits followed by green apple and lemon pie aromas. On the palate, we find all these flavors. The attack is frank and so, pairing matching the nice acidity. Serve chilled this wine will be the ideal ally of your seafood, white meats or cheese platter meals. 90% Sauvignon Blanc , 10% Sémillon
