Petite Marie Blanc 2023 Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux - MARCH'S WINE OF THE MONTH!

Stephane Dupuch is at the helm of the Chateau Saint-Marie estate and not only believes in organic farming, he stands hard again over mechanization and instead plants his vines denser with lower yields so that their wines have more impact, character and expression. He’s not wrong and this new little number, the Petite Marie gives you all that integrity, but with a little flirty, come play with me everyday kinda vibe, and we are rolling the dice and ready to play. Made from 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Colombard, you get all that bright, vibrating green freshness but with a bump of fresh sliced melon and tropical citrus. Light but hardly thin on the palate. In fact there is a nice bit of plump fruit and weight but the finish is lifted and teasing you to come back. Challenging you to not devour the bottle in under an hour. I know I will be buying this one by the case for my Spring and Summer sipping, I highly suggest you do the same. Especially if you are French Sauvignon Blanc lover, not going to be seeing much Sancerre soon, and what will be here, the prices are really going up. So, gobble up as much of this as you can get.
