Les Remparts de Bel Air Bordeaux Superieur 2020

"This pale and brilliant gold wine has white fruit aromas with numerous fine bubbles. The palate is elegant, long – lasting and well balanced between freshness and fruit." —producer

"Intense dark crimson color. The nose is fruity, elegant with a nice freshness. A frank and clear attack. The wine is greedy and powerful with fine tannins. Cool finish with sustained fruit." —winemaker

"Crisp and refreshing, with rich, ripe lime and grapefruit aromas. Great elegance with mineral style and despite everything some kind of roundness." —winemaker

"Sourced from vineyards that surround the winery and fermented without oak to preserve the underlying expression of its classic terroir, this is Sauvignon Blanc as channeled through the unique prism of Bordeaux, offering the enhanced texture, elegance, and richness of body that are the region’s hallmarks. According to Jean Marc, part of that depth also results from the small touch of Sémillon (the region’s “other” white grape) he includes in the blend, which imparts a certain “je ne sais quoi” that immediately conjures white Bordeaux. With its cleansing freshness and acidity and flavors of citrus and melon, it’s a quintessential oyster wine, but has all the necessary structure to stand up to richer fish and shellfish dishes (think pan-seared trout or broiled lobster)." —importer
