2021 Château de Callac Cuvée Prestige Graves Blanc

The Château de Callac Cuvée Prestige is a top wine from the Graves region and is a blend of 80% Sauvignon 20% Semillon. The vineyard is one plot of only 7 hectares located on one of the highest points of the municipality of Illats, southeast of Bordeaux. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in small crates to the cellars, where they are first sorted and then pressed in a soft pneumatic press. After pressing, any impurities are removed from the must and the remaining juice is then fermented in thermoregulated cuves at 18°C for approximately 10 days. The wine then matures for 1 month in French oak barrels, of which 25% new French oak and other used barrels.

The Callac Cuvée Prestige is a beautiful complex white Bordeaux or even more specifically a white Graves. The wine has a beautiful bright pale straw color. A complex and elegant nose with citrus notes with just a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. The hint of vanilla from the oak is elegant and never overpowering. In the mouth the wine is velvety and soft with excellent length. The tannin of the new oak is again present but not dominant. A wine to drink with turbot à la crème and perfect to combine with lobster or fish in a sauce.
