Château Goumin White
Located on a slope facing due south, Château Goumin has a splendid terroir. The vines grow on clay-limestone soil to produce very delicate dry white Entre-Deux-Mers that stand out thanks to their smoothness and finesse.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Sauvignon blanc 60% / Sémillon 20 % / Muscadelle 20%.
Weather
The 2017 vintage was one of the earliest on record. The growing season was marked by a dry winter and spring (46% less rainfall than usual), accompanied by temperatures 2°C above average (except for the frost in April). This dry summer weather was ideal for ripening the seeds until late August.
Tasting Comment

Lovely crystal-clear pale yellow colour, hinting at the wonderful freshness to come on the palate.
Nose
Intense bouquet featuring remarkably fruity aromas. Delicate nuances of white flowers and citrus fruit fill the glass.
Mouth
Well-balanced on the palate, with a beautifully long lemony aftertaste.The superior flavour profile makes this wine a perfect match for seafood dishes. This wine is also delicious on its own, its freshness making for an ideal aperitif.
