Tasting notes
This wine is pale/deep gold, developing a nose of exotic fruits followed by green apple and lemon pie aromas. On the palate, we find all these fl avors. The attack is frank and so , pairing matching the nice acidity.
Serve chilled this wine will be the ideal ally of your seafood, white meats or cheese platter meals. 90% Sauvignon Blanc , 10% Sémillon
Description
For many years, the magni cient Grand Cru Classé of Château Cantenac Brown has been accompanied by BriO de Cantenac Brown, a special
parcel selection from Cantenac Brown vineyards. But in 2011, our family expands with the addition of AltO de Cantenac Brown, our white wine.
We are fortunate to own a wonderful plot of clay and calcareous soil cool enough to produce a ne white wine. 1.80 hectares are planted to
Sauvignon blanc (90%) and Semillon (10%) for a production of only 7,000 to 8,000 bottles a year. Fermented in barrel, 90% 1 year oak barrels and 10% new oak.
We wished to make a wine of nice minerality, beautiful aromas, and a wine for Gastronomical table. Elegant and delicate, AltO pays hommage to the art of music, while at the same time
complimenting the entire Cantenac Brown gamut of wines. A perfect addition !
