Grand Bateau Bordeaux Blanc 2024 is a dry white Bordeaux made in a fresh and approachable style, combining bright fruit with the crisp acidity and subtle mineral character associated with the region.

Lemon, grapefruit and white peach are joined by pear, citrus blossom, fresh herbs and light mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied and lively, with clean fruit, bright acidity and a refreshing finish.

The wine has enough texture to give it presence at the table while remaining focused on freshness rather than richness or heavy oak influence.

I find this a very useful introduction to white Bordeaux. It has the citrus and freshness that Sauvignon Blanc drinkers look for, but with a slightly broader texture that makes it versatile with food and easy to enjoy on its own.

Food Pairing: Pair with oysters, shrimp, grilled fish, sushi, goat cheese, fresh salads, roast chicken, or seafood dishes with citrus and herbs.

Serve around 45–50°F.
