Austere Bordeaux white from biodynamically farmed fruit, built on wet stones and green mango with a whisper of herbs. The palate opens to creamy depth that feels weightier than the colour suggests. Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle, and Sémillon in conversation, the kind of wine that rewards a second thought.
Winemaker Notes
Biodynamic farming. Separate vinification of its blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and other local grapes in stainless steel vats at cool temperatures, and aging in tanks to preserve freshness.
About the Producer
Eleanor of Aquitaine (then Queen of England) ordered monks to plant the first vines on this 72-hectare estate in 1150. The property stretches over the right bank of the Garonne river across the hillsides of Saint Michel de Lapujade, and benefits from the mild and humid air that rises up from the sea and travels down the Garonne valley.
Pierre Boissonneau purchased the property in 1839, and descendants Christian, Pascal, Phillippe, and Nico have transformed it into one of the best places in Bordeaux for value driven organic wine. Moulin de Ferrand has long been a staple for us here at Grape and if you aren’t yet familiar with these it is about time you climb aboard the train.
