Château Sainte-Marie | White Bordeaux
2010
White Bordeaux at its best—a beautifully-made, young, fresh, modern dry white from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (crisp, citrus fruit), Semillon (full, lush) with a touch of Muscadelle (scented flowers) from a stunning vineyard close to the Abbey in La Sauve Majeure. Highly regarded in France—very affordable and great value for the money.
The Press
‘Compact and rounded nose with some apple and lime flavours and honeyed touches. More lean citrus fruit in the mouth fleshes out a bit on the mid-palate. Green and zesty.’ — Decanter MagazineOur tasting notes
Lemon green colour—the nose is highly aromatic—crisp, grassy and fresh. The wine is full bodied, rich and well balanced. Will go really well with seafood and all shellfish—and delicious by itself. The 2010 vintage is very good indeed.Wine data

About White Bordeaux
Château Sainte-Marie, owned by the Dupuch family, lies in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, where making white wines has undergone a revolution in the past 20 years with advances in viticulture and vinification techniques. The better properties now make some of the best dry wines in France—very different from the wine that our grandmothers used to save especially for the Vicar!
