And where red Bordeaux varietals thrive, so thrive white Bordeaux grapes, but those are decidedly harder to find. So what gives? Chardonnay’s dominance has certainly played a part; its popularity is such that it accounts for almost double all other white grapes combined. But there’s always room for standouts that rise above the crowd…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking inspiration from Bordeaux’s elite estates, the who’s who of Napa Valley have long crafted their own signature white blends, which at their best are every bit as stunning and refined. These elegant yet full-bodied treasures tend to be “pomp and circumstance” types of whites intended to impress the aficionados, but will equally satisfy anyone just looking for a perfect complement to rich foods or enjoy an elevated sipper. Given how infrequently we procure these, we had to go straight to the top for this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLot 621 is the latest chapter in a long love letter to the great Bordeaux Blancs from our source – a marriage of Old World elegance with New World luxury. Remarkably smooth and refined, we agreed to keep blend details on the low so the list of its possible origins wasn’t immediately obvious, but one sip (perhaps just a whiff) of this “White Meritage” announces its pedigree in unmistakable fashion. We’ve had our eye on this one for years (and happily buy it for personal consumption), but when we finally got our chance to acquire it for this program, we moved swiftly. A proprietary white that runs north of $60\/bottle, it’s a brilliant piece of winemaking that members of this insider community can now have delivered to their doorstep for almost 70% OFF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur price: $109\/6-pack, $18+\/bottle!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick refresher on white Bordelaise varietals: Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are the mainstays, while Muscadelle\/Sauvignon Gris\/Ugni Blanc\/Colombard are found in smaller but important roles. Techniques vary depending on house style and vintage, leading to an array of expressions. This particular bottling was made in a dry, rich, and textured style, using a 100% stainless steel approach to preserve varietal purity and a strong sense of place. Lots were vinified separately, allowing the winemaker full control of the final blend – a showcase of grace and power you’ll love having in your arsenal to either treat yourself or gift to someone you dub worthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWonderfully expressive and distinctly Bordelaise in profile, the nose boasts a beautiful combination of both fruit and floral qualities. Grapefruit and lime mingle with white blossoms, accented by hints of peach and elderflower. On the palate, citrus curd, saline, and herbs parade in a smooth, round presentation framed by exceptionally balanced acidity and minerality. The dry, lingering finish begins with a flicker of ginger spice that unfolds into uplifted citrus umami and wet stone that exits clean. A refined, impressive white of uncommon poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13% alc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Négoce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56680350548134,"sku":"CASE.6PACK.OG0621","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3299\/2908\/files\/Lot621-25NapaValleyWhiteBlend.png?v=1781903446","url":"https:\/\/www.denegoce.com\/products\/lot-621-2025-napa-valley-white-blend-6-pack","provider":"de Négoce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
