Goedhuis, February 2024
Predominantly Sauvignon Blanc, with a drop of Semillon, this is a superb example of the underrated Bordeaux Blanc style. Notes of fresh lemon and acacia can be found on the nose, while the palate has a delightful zip of acidity and steely minerality. A certified crowd-pleaser that will keep you coming back for more.

Owners of Château Lafite Rothschild for six generations, the Rothschild family has been associated with the vineyards of Bordeaux since 1868 and today owns Château Lafite Rothschild, Duhart Milon, L'Evangile, Rieussec, and Paradis Casseuil. In addition to the wines produced from their prestigious vineyards, Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite have for many years created a range of more accessible wines for everyday drinking. Initially created at the request of family and friends, these were known as the “Réserves des Barons”. In a continuation of this tradition, Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite decided to produce the Réserves in five major Bordeaux appellations: Bordeaux, Bordeaux Blanc, Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pauillac. In creating the Collection, DBR Lafite’s objective is to offer classic Bordeaux wines with immediate charm. Read less

Bordeaux
When the Romans first planted a few vines on the limestone outcrops of St Emilion in the early years of the first century, and tasted what was, by all accounts, rather thin, bitter wine, they can hardly have imagined that the region's greatest red wines would become the most sought afterfine wines in the world. From the days in the seventeenth century when the then owners of Ch Haut Brion, the de Pontac family, became the first to export to the UK, selling their wine in their own tavern, the Pontac's Head, red Bordeaux or claret has been the Englishman's favourite. The wines of the 1855 Classification are merely the tip of the iceberg. Bordeaux AC accounts for about half of all wine produced in the area, from vineyards outside the regional or communal appelations and often blended by the negociant houses. Simpler beasts these although still clearly related to their more illustrious cousins - relatively light and fresh, full of fruit, with soft tannins making for delicious, and good value, early drinking.
