The 2024 Château La Caussade Bordeaux Blanc is a bright, refreshing white Bordeaux from the Entre-Deux-Mers region, crafted primarily from Sauvignon Blanc with a small proportion of Sémillon. Produced in a fresh, fruit-driven style, it showcases the vibrant citrus and aromatic character that has made dry white Bordeaux increasingly popular. The cool Atlantic influence and limestone-clay soils help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, resulting in a wine that is both approachable and highly versatile.
The nose reveals grapefruit, lemon zest and green apple alongside notes of white peach, lychee and delicate white blossom. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is crisp and energetic, with bright citrus fruit, lively acidity and a subtle mineral edge. Hints of passionfruit and fresh herbs add complexity, while the finish remains clean, dry and refreshing. Freshness and drinkability are the hallmarks of this wine, making it an excellent example of modern everyday Bordeaux Blanc.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb value white Bordeaux that delivers plenty of freshness and character for everyday drinking. Zesty, aromatic and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, grilled fish, goat’s cheese, summer salads and roast chicken. Enjoy young over the next 2–4 years while its vibrant citrus fruit and crisp acidity are at their peak.
