Tasting notes
Expressive nose with dominant floral and herbal notes. On the palate, the wine is very well balanced with nice freshness. Ripeness gives this wine a rich character with yellow fruits and an attractive perfumed finish. Blend: 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle

Château Nicot is the cornerstone of the family's vineyard plantings. The property has 38 acres of vines, with an average age of 20 years, made up of two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot.
