Château Tour Des Gendres Anthologia Blanc

Chateau Tour Des Gendres Anthologia Blanc has honeyed aromas of white peach, hazelnuts and a hint of eucalyptus. The palate is full bodied and perfectly balances its rich power with a nervous acidity. The finish has great length and is loaded with ripe fruits. This wine now has about 10 years bottle ageing and has developed into a complex and rich style with a great depth of flavour and is a really interesting wine.

If you think you understand white Bergerac, this is a wine that will cause you to think again. Pure Sauvignon Blanc, hand picked at perfect ripeness and hand sorted to ensure only the finest grapes make it to fermentation. The juice was given 2 days of skin contact to extract greater complexity and structure, before fermentation took place in half new, half second fill oak casks. It remained in oak for 12 months and received regular battonage.
