Château de Monbazan 2016, Graves, France

Tasting Note: A light-hearted, uncomplicated white Bordeaux.

Pale-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of green apple, pear, lemon-citrus zest and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied white Bordeaux delivers restrained green fruit suggested on the nose with a medium, blossom-infused finish.

The wine is medium-plus in acidity and is steely in texture.

There is balance between the acidity and fruit and some notes of mid-palate complexity.
