Chateau Cantenac Brown ALTO Blanc 2020

(90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Semillon)

"Plenty of exotic saffron and apricot notes, but also the grippy minerality that Alto does so well. A little more flesh and less steel than in some vintages, but easily one of the best dry whites of the Médoc, always worth getting hold of. Good length, really stretches out and emphasises the salinity and scrape on the finish. 10% new oak. Harvest stated in August for the first time, on the 31st, finishing on the 1st September, with grapes coming in during the early morning. Just 7,000-8,000 bottles per year."
