Château Fondarzac Entre-deux-Mers 2021 — 750ml | 12.5% ABV
A Refreshing Expression of Bordeaux Blanc Château Fondarzac 2021 is a classic white Bordeaux from the Entre-deux-Mers appellation, situated between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. This 2021 vintage is a traditional blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle. It is crafted to highlight the bright acidity and limestone-driven minerality characteristic of the region's unique maritime terroir.
Small-Batch Craftsmanship Produced by the Lapalu family, who have been winemaking in Bordeaux for generations, this wine undergoes cool-temperature fermentation in stainless steel vats. This process preserves the delicate primary fruit aromas and ensures a crisp, clean finish. It is an ideal pairing for fresh seafood, goat cheese, or as a sophisticated aperitif.
