An unusual example of a white Merlot, expect a complex array of white peach, white flowers and even some red berries across the nose and palate. The wine spends some time in old oak contributing to both body and flavour complexity, with a hint of freshly churned butter present in the finish. A fascinating wine and a slightly different expression from Bordeaux.
About the producer: Château Picoron explores the potential of the great grape of Merlot, grown in plots surrounding the Château. The constraints of their region, Bordeaux, its varietals and the changing climate are the catalyst for their creations.
