July 15, 2009 - 2008 Chateau Grand Bireau, AOC Bordeaux Blanc HK$ 105 US$13.50
Appearance;
Clear, medium color intensity
Lemon gold and daybright
Nose:
Clean, medium plus intensity
Lime, unripe pineapple, grass, asparagus
Palate:
Dry to off dry- entry is sweet but acidity balances well. Crisp old world style white
Honey, peach, pears, asparagus, grassy
Medium finish
Conclusions:
This is a very nice example of a clean generic Bordeaux blend- crisp and refreshing with just enough complexity to pair with shellfish, oysters on the half shell, salad with vinaigrette.
