Vintage Character The 2023 Bordeaux Blanc from Domaine Virginie Thunevin is a lively and expressive white wine, crafted from a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The 2023 vintage in Bordeaux benefited from a cool, sunny growing season, which preserved vibrant acidity and heightened aromatic clarity in the region’s whites.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with bright notes of citrus blossom, zesty grapefruit, and white peach, underpinned by subtle herbal nuances and a delicate minerality. The palate is crisp and refreshing, displaying layers of lemon zest, green apple, and a gentle creaminess imparted by Semillon, all balanced by a mouthwatering acidity that leads to a clean, invigorating finish. Its purity and finesse make it a versatile companion at the table—pair it with pan-seared scallops, a fresh goat cheese salad, or lightly spiced Cantonese steamed fish to complement its aromatic profile and lively structure.
