Name: Chevalier Du Grand Robert 2022 Bordeaux Blanc

Variety: 
Region: Bordeaux

Country: France
Vintage: 2023
Price: $11.99

Winery Review: White gold color. Aromas of honeydew melon, passionfruit, blood orange, and schmaltz with a medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long lime zest, candied lemon peel, grapefruit, and mineral water finish. An ideal pairing for shellfish showing nice minerality and bright citrus.

Wine Folly: pg. 222 Bordeaux Blanc - very light body, composed of notes/hints of grapefruit, gooseberry, lime, chamomile, and crushed rocks. I notices the lime and citrus notes on both the nose and palate. Normally there is a difference between the smell and taste, but this was the same from nose to palate. We tried this wine chilled as 

recommended in Wine Folly.

My review: I liked this wine, simple, reliable, and not overpowering. Overall very balanced in my opinion. Not too sweet and although acidic, it complemented the palate hints very well. I liked the notes of lime and knew what to expect from the light aromas. Not too complex but good to drink on its own.

I tasted it on its own without any food pairings.
