Greetings readers! Our featured wine today is another white wine: Chateau Goudichaud Blanc. Don’t despair, some beautiful red wines are in the pipeline for upcoming reviews.
This one, an artfully crafted blend made up of 85 percent Sauvignon Blanc, 10 percent Muscadelle and 5 percent Sémillon, is a classic example of what the Bordeaux region – better known for its world famous red wines – can also produce in whites. Chateau Goudichaud is located on the banks of the Dordogne River, very close to the famous appellations of Saint Emilion, Pomerol and Fronsac. Belonging to the Glotin Family, the wine estate is part of the best properties in the appellation both for the quality of its wines as well as for its production capacity.
The estate dates from the 18th century (1780), and the architect who designed the actual chateau (featured on the label) was Victor Louis, who was also the architect for many of the notable buildings that dot the land in and around the city of Bordeaux.
