Cuvée des Demoiselles
Hostens-Picant's 2018 Cuvée des Demoiselles is terrific.
The medium to full-bodied palate has a seductive oiliness to the texture with bags of tropical fruit and spicy layers, finishing with a zesty kick.
Château Hostens-Picant’s signature white wine. The vines are grown on the estate's best clay-limestone and clay-flint plots. Often recognized as being one of the very best Bordeaux white wines, it's produced with the greatest care and attention to detail.
Suitable for vegans.

Tasting Notes
Sauvignon Blanc adds an aromatic range guided by very ripe citrus and white floral notes. The Sémillon brings subtle stonefruit and tropical notes.
Food Pairing
Saint-Jacques scallops, fish dishes and an array of cheese.
Winemaking Notes
10 - 15 year old vines grown in clay-limestone and flint soils produce 35 to 40 hectoliters per hectare. Fermented and aged in larger 400 liter barrels for 9 - 10 months. Regular bâtonnage.
