2020 is a good vintage for white Bordeaux. Not only from Pessac Leognan, but the whites from the Medoc are quite strong. The wines are aromatic, creamy, fresh, ripe, and sweet, with good acidities.
2021 White Bordeaux Wines rock! They are extraordinary capturing the essence of the vineyards with purity, precision, crisp, bright, zesty fruits, complex aromatics, and all the vibrancy and character you could ever hope for. If you are a fan of Bordeaux Blanc, these are the best wines in years. Don’t miss out as very little wine was made this year.
It is often the case with white Bordeaux that when the vintage is difficult for the red wines, white wines often excel, which is exactly what happened with 2021. The best whites exude purity, freshness, lift, and vibrancy. The fruits are aromatic, sweet, ripe, and sizzling with the racy acidities that are unique to Bordeaux. And, only 2 wines earned perfect scores this year, and both are white wines!
White Bordeaux wine needs cooler vintages than the red wines to preserve their freshness and vivacious, sweet fruits. That is what makes 2023 Bordeaux Blanc interesting, as the wines offer those unique characteristics. Plus, more producers are experimenting with non-traditional Bordeaux grapes, making some fun, and tasty new white wine blends!
