Chateau Hostens-Picant 2018 Bordeaux Blanc Cuvee Desmoiselles WA 91

The 2018 Cuvée des Demoiselles has a compelling, sit-up-and-beg nose of green guava, passion fruit and lemon meringue pie with touches of coriander seed and beeswax. The medium to full-bodied palate has a seductive oiliness to the texture with bags of tropical fruit and spicy layers, finishing with a zesty kick.

Chateau Hostens-Picant Cuvee Des Demoiselles 2018

The Cuvée des Demoiselles is the Château Hostens- Picant’s signature white wine. The vines are grown on the vineyard’s best clay-limestone and clay-flint plots. It is often recognized as being one of the very best Bordeaux white wines. It is produced with the greatest care and attention to detail. Its maturation phase in barrels gives the wine a very pleasant structure and helps it to age in the very best conditions. It is available in many places of excellence and distinction.

Tasting notes : the sauvignons display an aromatic range guided by very ripe citrus and white flowers notes. Sémillons, which acclimatize particularly well on clay- limestone soils, are not heavy and dominated by stone fruits and tropical notes.
