Pale silvery white appearance. Wonderfully complex mix of toasty oak with sumptuous, honeyed, rich-textured palate, beautifully balanced with fresh acidity. Every bit as classy as the red from this estate - delicious. Situated in Cadaujac, 200 metres from Château Bouscaut, Château Lamothe-Bouscaut is an old wine estate owned by Sophie Lurton and Laurent Cogombles. The house dates back to the 12th Century. Only one of Lamothe-Bouscaut’s nine hectares is planted to white grape vines, of which around 70% are Sauvignon Blanc and 30% are Sémillon. The vineyards are sustainably managed, and pruning is carried out by hand by 5 vineyard workers devoted to this small estate.

Common questions

How long does Sauvignon Blanc keep?

Most is best within two or three years of the vintage. Oak aged versions from Bordeaux or the Loire can keep longer.

Is Sancerre a Sauvignon Blanc?

White Sancerre, from the eastern Loire Valley, is made from Sauvignon Blanc. So is Pouilly-Fumé across the river.
