White Bordeaux
White Bordeaux wines, made primarily from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle, range from crisp and aromatic to rich and age-worthy. They feature vibrant acidity with citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit flavours, often with floral and mineral notes. Some, like Château Smith Haut Lafitte, gain complexity from oak ageing. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes and Barsac, are renowned for their luscious sweetness, balanced by bright acidity and rich apricot, honey, and marmalade flavours. Top producers include Château d'Yquem, Château Suduiraut, and Château Climens.
