Chateau Haut-La-Pereyre Entre Deux Mers Blanc

Château Haut-La Péreyre produced its first vintage in 1891 in the lieu-dit of Péreyre, back up in the pastoral hills of Entre-Deux-Mers. It sold its wine in bulk to négociants over the years until Olivier Cailleux’s parents began estate bottling in 1974. Olivier himself was given keys to the domain in 1994 after completing his enology studies and doing internships in South Africa, New Zealand, and at Cos d’Estournel. He is the sixth generation to manage the family’s affairs. His Bordeaux Blanc isa wonderful introduction to White Bordeaux, and it's the wine for folks who like their whites bone-dry, zippy, and mineralic. A blend of mainly Sauvignon Blanc, with Sauvignon Gris and Semillon in supporting roles, it snaps, crackles, and pops with green apple, pear, lime zest, and rocky mineral.
