[Vineyard Partner] Château La Clarière Blanc 2023 1btl

Castillon is primarily known for its red wines, but it wasn’t always this way, and the team at La Clarière, led by chief winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua who was trained at Haut-Brion, is proving just how exceptional its whites can be.

From their 4 hectares of white grape vineyards, estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris are barrel-fermented, lees-stirred, and cask-aged using techniques worthy of a Grand Cru Classé.

The result is a richly layered wine with grassy, creamy, lemon and peach notes, all enhanced by a subtle touch of oak spice ... a white that ages magnificently. It’s truly a revelation for the region.
