Often overshadowed by the region’s famous reds, Bordeaux’s white wines offer an incredible diversity that deserves to be explored: from crisp, citrus-driven Sauvignon Blancs ideal for aperitifs to rounder, more indulgent Sémillon-based blends suited to richer dishes.
This intimate tasting invites you to taste like a professional while diving into the essentials of white Bordeaux: its history, appellations, principal grape varieties, winemaking techniques and the influence of terroir.
You will compare styles from both the Left and Right Banks and learn how stainless steel preserves freshness and fruit, while oak ageing contributes complexity, roundness and structural depth.
The experience is designed to be interactive and relaxed, with opportunities to test your sense of smell and palate, identify tasting notes and discuss pairing ideas.
A surprise element challenges participants to apply newly learned techniques and sharpen sensory recognition.
At the end of the session, you will better understand what makes Bordeaux whites distinctive and feel confident choosing and enjoying them in a variety of settings.
