Château MoncetsBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
An organic Bordeaux Blanc that leans into texture and fruit rather than oak. Generous, approachable and a bit more Sémillon-driven than your typical zippy Sauvignon style. Modern, polished white Bordeaux.
On the nose, this wine reveals powerful aromas of stone fruits such as nectarine, apricot, and peach. On the palate, it displays aromatic complexity with the same fruits as on the nose, complemented by tropical notes of pineapple and passion fruit. A smooth texture brings roundness to the wine, perfectly balanced with freshness.
Grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta, mushroom risotto or lightly spiced dishes — anything that works with its roundness and freshness.
Best known in Loire Valley, Marlborough, Bordeaux
Zesty, aromatic and refreshing. Grapefruit, gooseberry, cut grass and passion fruit, with crisp acidity. Mineral and restrained in Sancerre and the Loire, punchy and tropical in Marlborough, and blended with Sémillon in Bordeaux.
Best known in Bordeaux, Hunter Valley
A rich white grape with a waxy texture. Lemon, honey and lanolin, gaining toasty complexity with age. It is key to sweet Sauternes and dry white Bordeaux, and in the Hunter Valley makes light, lemony whites that age remarkably well.
France
The world's most famous wine region. Left bank: Cabernet-led, structured, age-worthy. Right bank: Merlot-forward, plush, generous. The greatest châteaux set the global benchmark for red wine; the Entre-Deux-Mers makes brilliant dry whites.
Bordeaux, France
A Lalande-de-Pomerol estate just north of Pomerol, with a mix of microclimates that allows careful plot selection. The Merlot-led red is the main event. Love Wine also stocks an organic Bordeaux Blanc, mostly Sémillon, from vineyards in Soussac.
More from Château Moncets →Made by the Domaines de Moncets team from organically farmed vineyards in Soussac (Gironde), this wine blends roughly 70% Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc (and a touch of Sauvignon Gris). Fermented in stainless steel with no oak influence and aged on lees for added texture, it's designed to highlight fruit purity and natural richness.
If you like these, you'll love this: White Bordeaux from Graves or Entre-Deux-Mers, dry Sémillon-Sauvignon blends, or richer styles of Sauvignon Blanc with texture (e.g. Loire with lees ageing).
