Château du Clos Sainte Anne Blanc 2020

“While red Bordeaux may be more popular, wine drinkers willing to sample a second color will find the white can be just as delicious, compelling and complex.”

That’s The Wall Street Journal’s wine critic, Lettie Teague, and we agree with every word. White Bordeaux remains something of an insider’s secret—if you’ve never tried one, this beauty from third-generation sisters Sylvie and Marie Courselle (who come from a family with more than a century of winemaking experience) is your perfect introduction.

It’s a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, from the family’s five-acre Clos Sainte Anne vineyard, planted just over 40 years ago. With its southern-facing slopes (real sun traps) and deep gravel soils, it’s perfectly sited to grow concentrated, ripe grapes. And thanks to the fabulous 2020 vintage, the Courselle sisters were able to produce a white of serious finesse.

Look forward to the intense, aromatic freshness of Sauvignon Blanc, rounded out by the rich, honeyed character of Sémillon. Smooth, well balanced, and complex, this Bordeaux Blanc makes a stylish aperitif or a fine match for roasted chicken.
