Château Beauregard Ducasse
Graves White Bordeaux Blend
Graves, Bordeaux, France
Oh hell controversial but these days I'm digging Bordeaux whites over Sancerre---gasp! Whose savvy b wins?! This has all the grapefruit, the lemon, the Meyer lemon going STRONG! And then a hint of stones (maybe not as much as a Loire wine). But also the body you get into from the Semillon. Light in color. It FEELS light on the palate but it tastes complex and interesting. I'm surmising the Semillon fortifies the body. I dunno. I'm into the Graves blancs. They have the things I want in a Sancerre to be sure. I mean I've not compared side by side especially with price factoring in. All I have to say is this is a "please do it". You will get a boatload of citrus and mineral plus some waxy body so it will go with your full bodied artichoke and/or..whatever you need a super-acidic but full bodied white to go with...anyway I say hop in. Puh-lease.
