Chateau Valoux Blanc Pessac-Leognan

An excellent example of the Pessac-Leognan appellation in Graves, Bordeaux, where the terroir with hilly relief brings unique gravel deposits rolled by the Garonne for nearly 2 million years.  This white wine uses hand harvested Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks before barrel ageing for 10 months with 35% new French oak.

This creates a blooming garden of a wine, fragrant with white flowers. The mouth shows a fine balance of refreshing lime and sweet apricot. Try this aromatic wine with a variety of light salad dishes, halloumi, fish or chicken.

Chateau Valoux has produced wines under the management of neighbouring Chateau Bouscat, since 1929. The clay-limestone vineyards date back to the 17th century, and they have been awarded the envied status of Grand Cru Classe de Graves for their exceptional wines; one of only 16 with such status. The famed Lurton family of Bordeaux have overseen production since 1979 to add to their portfolio, which includes prestigious chateaux in Margaux and Barsac.
