Le RETOUT BLANC
Dry white
- 2021
- Vin de France dry white
Although produced in Lamarque in the heart of Haut-Médoc, this is the most original dry white wine in the Gironde, a blend of gros manseng (as in Jurançon), sauvignon gris (superior to the more common sauvignon blanc), savagnin (as in Jura) and mondeuse blanche (as in Savoie). All this gives a dry white wine with golden reflections, powerful, sapy, fruity, complex and elegant. A special wine!

The 2020 vintage is rated 92/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "A sure thing: the wine is delicious, with a delicious expression of fruit and good volume on the palate. The finish is carried by creamy tannins". (Oct. 2023)
Rated 91/100 by J-M Quarin "Spicy nuances. Minute on the entry, very well constructed in the middle, both melting and dense, the wine evolves juicy, tasty and a little firm on the finish. This firmness is reminiscent of Saint-Estèphe". (March 2024)
