Another white wine that’s pleasing to the palate
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.
