Chateau Lafont Menaut Pessac Léognan Blanc 2019
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.

Colour

Brilliant, pale yellow colour.

Bouquet

Expressive nose with tropical, citrus notes

Flavour

The overall impression is pleasantly fresh. Aromatic at the attack with beautifully controlled balance between the fullness of the palate and the freshness of the Sauvignon. Great roundness at the mid-palate right through to the lingering finish. The aromatic finish continues the impression of freshness.

In 1990, Philibert Perrin bought nearby plots of land that used to be part of Montesquieu’s estate (Montesquieu was a famous writer-philosopher in the 18th Century). He undertook a clearing program that uncovered an abandoned washhouse called Menaut ...
