2022 Château Baratet Bordeaux Blanc

The Château Baratet Bordeaux Blanc comes from the AOC Bordeaux and is a blend of 50% Muscadelle, 30% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon. The vineyard covers 20 hectares and is located on the clayey limestone on the slopes of Entre Deux Mers. This region is rightly on the rise and that is understandable. Located between the Atlantic Ocean and the mighty Gironde, the temperature is much better regulated here in both cold and heat. After harvest, grapes are sorted on large tables. They are then pressed to extract the juice. Once the impurities have been removed, the juice is fermented for approximately 10 days in thermally regulated stainless steel vats at 18° C. The wine is then further aged in stainless steel on its yeasts (sur lie) for a period of approximately 6 months. This gives this pure wine its extra complexity, but a conscious decision has been made to keep the flavors and scents purely natural, so there is no influence of oak.

This white Bordeaux wine has a beautiful straw yellow color with green apple reflections, a very fresh nose in which the Sauvignon dominates the elegance. The Château Baratet is well balanced on the palate with notes of citrus fruit. A wonderful wine to enjoy as an aperitif and a perfect accompaniment to lobster, shrimp, molluscs, fresh seafood and raw vegetables.

Mr. Dafre, the owner of Château Baratet, has been producing organic wines since the 1980s and was one of the pioneers of this naturally conservative area. The vines are grown according to strict rules to obtain the ECO-CERT certification awarded to all organic farming in France. No chemicals are tolerated!
