Ch. Tertre de Launay, Entre-deux-Mers | Bordeaux, France

£24.30

Château Tertre de Launay exemplifies the excellence of Bordeaux’s white wines from Entre-deux-Mers. It is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 21% Semillion, 17% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Muscadelle.

Located on the Butte de Launay, one of the highest points in Gironde, Ch. Tertre de Launay is a historic estate in Entre-deux-Mers and owned by the Helfrich family - one of 11 in Bordeaux that they oversee.

Entre-deux-Mers is bordered by the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers, thus its translation as "between two seas". It is the largest wine region of Bordeaux and known for its dry white wines, mainly from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety, generally intended to be consumed young.

Origin: Entre-deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France

Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillion, Sauvignon Gris, Muscadelle

Tasting Notes: Pale yellow with an elegant and expressive nose, fragrant, floral aromas of white flowers and peach. The palate has a fine balance of roundness and liveliness, notes of apricots and stone fruit from Semillon aromas, and soft citrus lemon from the Sauvignon. A lively and fruity wine with a fresh crisp finish.

“With its touch of Sauvignon Gris in the blend, the wine is full bodied and spicy. It has layers of acidity, green fruits and minerality that gives a bite to the texture.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
