Oxydatif

2010 Sauternes White Blend

The 2010 Rousset Peyraguey Oxydatif is a stunning expression of the exceptional terroir found in the Sauternes region. This white blend showcases a beautiful golden hue that hints at its complexity. On the nose, it offers captivating aromas of honeyed stone fruit, intertwined with delicate floral notes and a whisper of toffee, alluding to its oxidative style. The palate is rich and luscious, embodying a full-bodied character that envelops the senses, while bright acidity provides a refreshing lift, maintaining balance. The fruit intensity is pronounced, presenting layers of peach, apricot, and citrus, harmonizing seamlessly with hints of nuts and a touch of spice. The wine's structure is complemented by well-integrated, subtle tannins that provide a pleasing mouthfeel without overshadowing the fruit. This delightful offering is a testament to the winemaker's craftsmanship and the unique influences of the region, making it a remarkable choice for those seeking a distinctive and rewarding tasting experience.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
