ARTEVINO - Sélection éphémère
Loudenne Cépage White 2023
"THERE IS NO GREAT TERROIR THAT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE RIVER"
Like the greatest Médoc wines, Château LOUDENNE's vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir located on the edge of the Gironde estuary which, like a mirror, reflects the sun's rays, reduces the risk of frost and promotes the ripening of the grapes. This privileged location gives the wines of LOUDENNE elegance, complexity and finesse.

Tasting
It is an easy-drinking wine, perfectly balanced between a strong aromatic expression, a controlled acidity and a pleasure to drink.
As it is a "Loudenne" wine, there is a certain salinity in the finish due to its location so close to the estuary !

At nose
A very fresh and citrus nose, the Sauvignon Blanc marker is very present but without its ostentatious character.
On the palate
The palate is refined, very fruity, white peach, white flowers.
