Tasting notes
The Château de France 2018 Blanc sashays out of the glass with vibrant scents of fresh peaches, lemon curd and yellow apples plus wafts of coriander seed, white pepper and lime leaves. The medium-bodied palate has lovely poise and purity, delivering just enough freshness to lift the crunchy stone fruit and apple flavors to a long finish.

Lots of solid dried pineapple and lemon curd notes emerge from the 2018 Château De France Blanc, which is mostly Sauvignon with around 20% Sémillon. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, straight, and focused on the palate, it's a well-made, classic, enjoyable white to drink over the coming 3-4 years.
Solid white with texture and structure that shows seriousness. Full body, layers of fruit and stony character. Fresh and tight. Extremely well done for the vintage.
