Grand Bateau Blanc 2022 by Chateau Beychevelle
Bordeaux AOC, France
Aromatic to the nose with notes of buttery-vanillin oak flavours and exotic fruit (orange rind and honeyed grapefruit).Ā On the palate, the wine is round, fleshy with wonderful minerality and again, delightful exotic fruit flavours.Ā The new-oak flavours are present. Very nice balance between the oak, fruit and acidity.Ā Excellent finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Harvest is done 100% by hand. Following a skin-contact maceration, 75% of the juice is fermented in vats and 25% in oak-barrels. During this ageing period, ābatonnageā is carried out.Ā After blending and filtration, bottling is carried out in late spring following the harvest.
