SOLD OUT -- Vilatte's Bordeaux Blanc is everything I look for in a white and more! Plump, juicy, and superbly satisfying, it is one of the best white wine deals I've encountered in some time.
Quite ripe and rich on the nose, this turns zesty and vivacious on the palate. About as refreshing as white wine can get, we can't wait for you all to get this home and get some into your glass!
The only bit of bad news I've got is that there's only 84 bottles up for grabs. Sorry, but that's just the nature of dealing in wines from small growers and producers...
2022 Chateau Vilatte Bordeaux Blanc
ORDER NOW in our online store.
I was blown away by these new DI (direct-import) wines from the Haw River Wine Man's Mike Tiano and team. Chateau Vilatte is a charming, family-run estate in the southern part of Bordeaux, and all I can say about their white is that it is a dead ringer for a wonderful White Graves.
A perfect blend of Sauvignon Blanc (50%), Semillon (20%), Muscadelle (20%), and Sauvignon Gris, the grapes "play very well" together. The Sauvignon Blanc and Gris give us fresh citrus and herbal notes while the Semillon and Muscadelle give us ripe peach and floral nuances.
It all adds up to a wonderful bottle of truly artisan White Bordeaux. Dry and zesty yet ripe and juicy, this has that wonderful contrast of qualities that all great wines possess. This is the kind of a wine that will please a lot of different palates.
Uber-refreshing and an ideal wine to enjoy with casual meals, it also tastes awfully good without food. Just 7 cases up for grabs. I would not wait too long to place your order.
