Continuing a tradition dating back to the early 20th century, Fonréaud (Listrac) produces a confidential white wine on 3 hectares, very dry and tense, just like the Pavillon blanc de Margaux and, like it, an archetype of dry Médoc whites.

The star of Graves blancs, offering each vintage a very pure and straightforward wine, discreetly woody. It is not surprising to see this regularity in performance, as it is the own property of the late Denis Dubourdieu. Favourite Hachette in 2014.

This classified growth, owned by INRA, has grown considerably since the Institute's researchers decided to apply the results of their most advanced research to it, and the arrival of Mr Derenoncourt as an advisor.

Known for its red wine, Château Rollan de By also owns 2 ha of alluvial sands on the Gironde estuary, which were planted with Sauvignon Blanc some 30 years ago with the intention of producing a great Medoc white wine.

The owner, Mr. Guyon, decided to apply to the letter the traditional practices for the elaboration of a neat white wine, in the vineyard (high density of 6500 vines per hectare, 100% grassing, manual harvest in crates...) as well as in the cellar (no fining, no filtration, the wine is only clarified by successive rackings, maturing in French oak barrels...).

But he has also integrated the qualitative precepts of today's oenology: short pre-fermentation maceration, low temperature vinification, stirring of the lees, minimal sulfiting...

In a way, the best of both worlds (ancient and modern) are combined to best express the temperate oceanic climate of the northern tip of the Médoc, ideal for white wines: optimal sunshine, mild temperatures without excess, regular rainfall.

Very pale, crystalline colour, aromatic notes of lemon and grapefruit, lively and delicate on the palate, Carbonnieux is by its refined style the most Medoc style of Pessac-Léognan whites.

Based on Sauvignon (with a hint of Semillon), Caillou Blanc has been presented for 50 years as the archetype of Médoc dry white wine: pale colour, between delicate freshness and aromatic distinction (citrus fruits, bitter orange, honeysuckle), never too full or demonstrative. And always reasonably positioned in terms of price.

Known to produce Léognan's most voluminous and expressive white wine, Larrivet Haut-Brion has gained in freshness, precision and aromatic complexity since the arrival of Mr Lemoine (cellar master from Montrose), advised by Mr Derenoncourt, and vinifications in ovoid vats.

With near-maniacal intransigence at every stage of its development, the Bonnie family delights us with each vintage with its white wine, very Sauvignon (85% in 2016 and 90% in 2018) combining energy, supreme finesse and exemplary straightness.

The great white wine of Ch. Valandraud, with a sparkling sap and balance. With only 4000 bottles produced, it is a nugget that will do wonders on the table in 5 years (to take advantage of its youthful brilliance) or in 15 years.

Blending : 50 % sauvignon gris, 40 % sauvignon blanc, 10 % sémillon.

The white wine of Smith Haut Lafitte has built up a solid reputation over the last 10 years, even if it is not a grand cru classé (but Haut-Brion blanc and Pape-Clément blanc are not either). A happy marriage of wood and fruit, it always delivers a beautiful aromatic complexity, from lime blossom to citrus, and a lively, rich and fine structure.
