Our online feature this week is the 2018 Les Hauts de Chateau Sainte-Marie (Bordeaux – Entre-Deux-Mers, France) – $14.99, regularly $19.99.
Château Sainte-Marie is located in the SW of France in the Bordeaux wine region, right in the middle of the prime wine-growing Entre-deux-Mers region between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. The ideally situated plots stretch across two hills with perfect exposure to the sun on some of the highest land in the Gironde.
The Hauts de Sainte-Marie Blanc is a ready to drink white made from a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon and 10% Muscadelle from vines grown near the town of Targon and consists of 25 hectares (62 acres) of mainly clayey limestone.
Bright pale yellow colour. Lively and very fragrant nose. This wine is full of fruit and character. It reveals all its freshness on the palate. Lovely with picnic fare, fish, seafood and poultry dishes. A fine value for a white Bordeaux!
