Description
In a nutshell:
A rich and fresh Bordeaux dry orange wine from near Sauternes.
The lowdown:
A blend of Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc made in the way you would a red with fermentation taking place on the skins for five weeks giving colour, structure, tannin and flavour. Produced by Chateau de Cérons in the often overlooked appellation of Cérons, that sits next to famous neighbour Barsac and near Sauternes, on gravel soils by the Garonne River. It was harvested at dawn to preserve freshness and all care taken in the winery to protect the aromas and minerality of the Cérons terroir. A nose of bright citrus with kumquat and tropical notes leading onto a full and soft palate with a ripeness and richness to the fruit, exotic spice, and light, grippy tannins. The finish is long and clean with a refreshing saline edge. A very accomplished modern wine from an old established estate.
The Producer:
Situated in the heart of the village of the same name, close to the Garonne River, sits Château de Cérons which belongs to Xavier and Caroline Perromat. Their vineyards lie on a limestone gravel plateau overlooking the Ciron, a tributary of the Garonne which is perfect terroir for the Sémillon grape variety. One of the oldest AOPs in Bordeaux, the proximity of Cérons to the rivers Garonne and Ciron results in a suitably humid micro-climate which, as in neighbouring Sauternes, is ideal for the development of botrytis - the necessary ingredient of many of the world's finest sweet wines.
When to drink:
Quite a versatile wine when pairing with foods. Works well with charcuterie and tapas (like octopus), also North African/Moroccan dishes as well as some milder Asian dishes. On a more traditional level try with roast pork or veal.
