Gravelly soil. Monbouquet blanc was created to prove that it is possible to make a great white wine in Saint Emilion. The wine was aged in new oak barrels on its lees and bâtonné to release its full aromatic complexity. Shows a lovely freshness and length, and lots of character. A delicious wine with tropical fruit flavors.
Food pairing: Saucisson, salmon, caviar.
