2023 Château Bastor-Lamontagne 'Confidence', Bordeaux Blanc

Where lovers of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and fine Kiwi sauvignon simply must venture – Bordeaux blanc. So, given its elegant notes and flavours of citrus, zest, mango, tropical fruits, the Confidence sauvignon/sémillon blend is the ideal place to start. Here’s also where added sémillon provides extra texture, weight and creaminess to the palate, and a departure point where the 100% sauvignon fan finds further intrigue.

"This shows a citrusy nose with lemon peel, white peaches, orchid blossom and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied with a round, creamy texture and crunchy acidity. Fresh and vibrant with a flavorful finish. Drink now."
