2022 Chateau du Pin-Franc Bordeaux Blanc

From: Bordeaux, FranceBlend: 40 % Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% Sauvignon Gris Taste: The wine's profile is marked by a vibrant acidity and harmonious aromas that successfully meld zesty citrus (without being grassy) and yellow apples with subtle floral and a hint of honeyed notes.
