Château Barbé Blanc

CHÂTEAU BARBE

BLAYED CÔTES DE  BORDEAUX

 

The only white we offer in our range, Barbe Blanc is a sauvignon blanc/semillon blend that gives a unique richness to the wine. This blaye is obviously best suited to seafood prepared in all styles and is in our view a good aperitif and start to the evening

 

TASTING RESULTS

Lively, aromatic and fruity,  this wine is dominated by a characteristic Sauvignon Blanc citrus aroma

 

OUR CULINARY ADVICE
