Chateau de France Pessac Léognon 2019

Without a doubt, the Pessac Léognan white wine with the best price-quality ratio. In the glass, a lemon-yellow color with a golden shimmer. Soft and fruity from the start with great intensity; beautiful notes of yellow peaches, citrus fruits, pineapple, and also mineral tones. A delightful freshness in the finish, perfectly balanced. The finish remains intensely fruity, sweet, and fresh at the same time. Highly recommended! You receive a stylish wine at a very low price. Made from 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon.
 4/5 Vivino
