Château Lafont Menaut

AOC Pessac-Léognan White

Coming from the same family which owns Château Carbonnieux one of Bordeaux's most acclaimed dry white wines, it is hardly surprising that Philibert Perrin has shown a true talent for making white wine. Close to another celebrated property, Smith Haut-Lafitte, Lafont Menaut is at once elegant and rich, with intense minerally flavours and classic Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc aromas of citrus and exotic fruit. Suitable for Vegan.

    VINTAGE 2019

    TASTING NOTES

    The wine presents itself with a beautiful pale yellow color. The nose is open to expressive notes of Sauvignon : exotic and citrus aromas dominate. The whole thing is fresh and tasty. In the mouth, the attack is tonic. The general structure is balanced between a fruity freshness (lemon and pineapple) and aromatic and a nice volume due to its fine texture. The whole is of a good length leaving the palate on citrus notes and a light toast. Culinary pairings: oysters, shellfish, seafood, cheeses.

    AGEING

    To drink young but good ageing potential – 4-5 years.

    TASTING NOTES

    Beautiful pale yellow in colour with green tints; limpid. Following in the footsteps of the previous vintages, this 2020 offers a rich, expressive bouquet with floral notes (acacia) and mineral, flinty notes The palate is beautifully fresh, with a texture which imparts fullness and length – a style which is definitely reminiscent of its “flagship” wine, Château Carbonnieux. Enjoy with friends chilled as an aperitif, or as an accompaniment to a fine dish of seafood.
