Champ des Treilles Bordeaux Blanc
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Grapes: Sémillon, Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage: 2023
Champ des Treilles is the family domaine of Corinne and Jean-Michel Comme. It was Jean-Michel’s grandparents, freshly arrived from their native Italy and eager to put down roots in their new home, who planted the first vines (1920s) in the far eastern corner of the Entre-Deux-Mers.
Corinne and Jean-Michel are fortunate to have 3 hectares of white varieties over 60 years old. The vines are located atop a hill and the soil is full of flint. Fermentation rumbles on gently over a couple of months (malolactic fermentation is allowed) in a mix of cuve and cement eggs. A very elegant wine of real finesse, with a relatively high proportion of Muscadelle playing its part, providing gentle, floral aromas and flavours.
