2017 vintage. I love my white Graves (and especially Pessac-Léognan) with some bottle age, and this 2017 Ferrande is absolutely lovely. Exotic and mineral at the same time, with subtle hints of honey and beeswax. A round mouthfeel with exotic fruit like pineapple, enhanced by fresh acidity and a lovely spiciness. Terrific value. Highly recommended if you love more evolved Bordeaux whites. Abv. 13%.

Pale straw yellow with a hint green. Mild aromas of lemon and grass. High acid, med low alc. flavors of green apple, lemon, green pepper and minerals. Wine seems mild all around. Not too strong in any area. Goes good with blue cheese.

Rich golden color. Nose reveals aromas of honey, ripe yellow apple, tropical fruits, and very strong notes of petrol. On the palate acidic attack, overridden by sweet sensation, with honey, tropical, petrolic long aftertaste. Great value
