Introduction:
The 2023 Château Fage Graves de Vayres Blanc is a crisp, refreshing white Bordeaux that highlights the classic elegance of the region’s Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon blend. Bright, expressive, and balanced, it’s a beautifully crafted wine with a lively, food-friendly profile.

Terrior:
Hailing from the Graves de Vayres appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, the vineyards are planted in gravelly, well-drained soils that encourage aromatic expression and finesse. The region’s temperate maritime climate supports slow, steady ripening, resulting in fresh, vibrant fruit with excellent natural acidity.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with brilliant clarity and greenish reflections, showcasing its youth and freshness.

Nose:
Bright and aromatic, with notes of lemon zest, white grapefruit, and green apple. Floral accents of elderflower and acacia blossom lift the bouquet, while a touch of wet stone minerality adds depth.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with zesty acidity. Citrus and orchard fruit dominate—lime, pear, and white peach—balanced by a clean, mineral undertone. The Sémillon adds a roundness and slight waxy texture that complements the Sauvignon Blanc’s vibrancy.

Finish:
Crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus peel, crushed stone, and a whisper of white flowers. A clean, palate-cleansing finish that makes it highly drinkable.

Overall Impression:
An energetic, well-balanced Bordeaux Blanc that showcases the region’s signature blend with finesse. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, fresh cheeses, or spring vegetables. A beautiful example of understated elegance and purity.
