Ch. Philippe Jacques & Co.
Bordeaux Blanc
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Our grape’s journey from the vine to the winery is swift and cool. This emphasis on timeliness and temperature is crucial to preserving Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon’s natural freshness and flavor. Throughout the winemaking process, our winemakers sample different blend proportions to identify the perfect varietal balance of 60 percent Sauvignon Blanc and 40 percent Sémillon. The final wine embodies the quintessential harmony and elegance of this classic style.
Vintage The white wines of Bordeaux’s 2020 vintage are recognized for freshness and balance. Following a wet spring, the growing season was filled with dry, hot days and scattered thunderstorms. September offered mild temperatures during harvest as we collected the year’s bounty in time to avoid the October heat. This symme ...

WINE REGION:
Bordeaux AOP
Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) classification for French wine relates to wine being from a specific region that is significantly regulated. The regions are both large and small, each with its own set of rules for permitted varietals, production standards and quality control cues.

TASTING NOTES:
Pear
Honeysuckle
Wet Stone
Bright honeysuckle aromas mix with a whiff of sea spray. A subtle creamy texture lands on the front of the palate but is quickly cleaned away by bracing acidity. From here, grapefruit and ripe pear flavors emerge, followed by a gravelly-like texture for a crisp finish.
