Chateau Lafont Menaut, Pessac-Leognan Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux, France, White, 75cl

Description Coming from the same family which owns Château Carbonnieux one of Bordeaux’s most acclaimed dry white wines, it is hardly surprising that Philibert Perrin has shown a true talent for making white wine. Close to another celebrated property, Smith Haut-Lafitte, Lafont Menaut is at once elegant and rich, with intense minerally flavours and classic Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc aromas of citrus and exotic fruit. Producer: Chateau Lafont Menaut Region: Bordeaux Country: France Colour: White Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Notes: Appearance: A brilliant pale-yellow colour. Nose: The nose is redolent of citrus fruit (grapefruit, candied lemon), opening up to reveal more tropical aromas of pineapple and guava. The overall impression is one of great freshness. Palate: The front-of-palate is invigorating and aromatic, the mid-palate beautifully balanced between mouth filling volume, finesse and acidity. Tropical fruit flavours are in evidence here too, especially at the lingering finish. Food pairing: Oysters and other shellfish, seafood, cheese.
