Château de Quantin White
Vines have been grown on Château de Quantin's gravelly rises since the 17th century. These produce delicious, fruity, dry white wines with great aromatic expression. This fresh, crisp Pessac-Léognan can also be enjoyed young.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
100% Sauvignon blanc.
Weather
2015 was the third warmest year since 1900... Drought conditions, above-average monthly temperatures and sunshine (in the first half of the year), cool nights and hot weather in August accompanying véraison (colour change) were all ideal for the vines!
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Lovely pale yellow colour with attractive green highlights.
Nose
This pure Sauvignon Blanc has an immediately appealing bouquet of citrus, gunflint, menthol, and freshly-pressed grapes.
Mouth
Straightforward, rich, and fresh on the palate. Perfectly balanced with all the characteristics of wines produced in the famous Pessac-Léognan appellation. This delicious wine is a real crowd pleaser. It goes beautifully with fish, shellfish, pasta with pesto, etc.
