BLANC DE TRONQUOY is the rare, limited-production white wine from Château Tronquoy-Lalande, a distinguished estate in Saint-Estèphe. It is a testament to the Médoc's potential for world-class dry white wine, meticulously crafted to achieve a depth and elegance often reserved for the most celebrated Crus Classés de Graves.

The Sommelier's View

This exquisite Bordeaux Blanc is a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris, aged in new French oak barrels with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring). This method ensures a wine of remarkable structure, complexity, and longevity-a true cellar candidate.

• Appearance: A brilliant pale yellow hue with an attractive sheen.
• Aroma: The bouquet is refined and expressive, offering delightful notes of honeysuckle, white stone fruits (pear, peach), and a lovely complexity of toasted brioche and delicate spice.
• Taste: The palate is rich and full, yet driven by a keen, energetic acidity that keeps it fresh and focused. It builds to a long, memorable finish, showcasing a superb balance between opulence and minerality.

Food Matches & Serving

This wine should be served cool, but not cold, around 10-12°C (50-54°F). It shines when paired with rich, textured dishes.

• Suggestions: Smoked Salmon Terrine, Grilled Halibut with Lemon Butter Sauce, or a creamy Chicken, Mushroom, and Fennel Casserole.
