Château du Retout
Le Retout Blanc Gros Manseng Blend
France
Very interesting blend of grapes! 41.5% Gros Manseng, 37% Sauvignon Gris, 13% Savagnin, 8.5% Mondeuse Blanche. Pretty aromatics of jasmine, lemon zest, and white flowers and a nice straw color to the wine. The pallet is high in acid, and full of bright citric fruits, creme fresh, lime, and light mineral tones to the finish. Would be lovely with oysters - not a wine you'd expect from Bordeaux necessarily but the Sauvignon Gris brings it back home.

A lovely interesting and fresh white blend of 52% Gros Manseng, 32% Sauvignon Gris, 9% Mondeuse Blanche, 7% Savagnin. This delightful blend has a light gold color, a citrus nose with a touch of grapefruit, flowers, minerals and a hint of tropical fruit, medium body, with a supporting fresh acidity and a delicious finish, my score 87, drink 2015-2020

Ok, so can't go through a super bowl without at least a glass or two right? This is delicious. I usually hate (...I mean HATE) sweeter wines but this is perfectly balanced. It has a honey pear flavor and a very smooth texture but the acidity balances out the sweetness very well. We opened this randomly and are both very pleased. The rating is relative to its very reasonable price. We will be buying more ☺👏

Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Gris, Savagnin, and Mondeuse Blanche Blend. Wha?????..........The aromas of this wine are so lovely. Peach, pear, tangerine, butter cream and tree flowers. Creamy texture with fresh and tart acidity. This is such an interesting blend of grapes you don't get to try very often. It's hard to describe what I'm really tasting with nothing to compare it to but I really like this. This could age a while and the acidity would tone down a lot but if your not afraid of acidity in your wine this is a must try. I would drink this with Thai food.

Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Gris, Savagnin, Mondruse Blanc. Grabbed the bottle because of the blend, this was quite interesting. Want to grab another bottle to make more of an opinion. Has me intrigued.
