2024 Château Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc

The secret to Château Ducasse’s perennially popular, tantalizing white is the healthy amount of Sémillon that’s included. It makes up about 70 percent of the final blend and is wonderfully complemented by Sauvignon Blanc, its traditional dance partner in Bordeaux Blanc. As the Bordelais figured out long ago, Sémillon provides weight and texture that you don’t get with Sauvignon Blanc alone, along with gentler floral and stone fruit aromatics. Together, the two varieties produce a refreshing, food-friendly white that walks the line between racy and lush.
