Stock Status: No Per Case / Size: 12 x 750ml Intro: From the beginning of their adventure, Yves and Nadine made sure to surround themselves with a faithful and talented team who work hard to ensure the wines produced at the Château Hostens-Picant show consistent quality and a unique identity. Nowadays the couple’s two daughters, Charlotte and Valentine, have taken charge of the estate and work with the same passion they’ve inherited from their parents. Valentine develops the estate’s business in France and across the world whilst Charlotte, her big sister, deals with communication and tourism. Description: The Cuvée des Demoiselles is the Château Hostens- Picant’s signature white wine. The vines are grown on the vineyard’s best clay-limestone and clay-flint plots. It is often recognized as being one of the very best Bordeaux white wines. It is produced with the greatest care and attention to detail. Its maturation phase in barrels gives the wine a very pleasant structure and helps it to age in the very best conditions. It is available in many places of excellence and distinction. Vinification: 65 % Sauvignon - 30% Sémillon - 5% Muscadelle Vinification/maturation: Alcoholic fermentation in barrels. Maturation in 400 liter barrels for 9 to 10 months. Maturation on lees with regular stirrings. Age of the vines: 10 to 15 years Aging potential: 7 to 10 years Flavours: The sauvignons display an aromatic range guided by very ripe citrus and white flowers notes. Sémillons, which acclimatize particularly well on clay- limestone soils, are not heavy and dominated by stone fruits and tropical notes. Food Pairings: White meat veal, Saint-Jacques scallops, fish, cheeses, etc Serving temperature: 12-13 degrees Celsius Review: Figaro magazine: 16/20 James Suckling: 89-90 Wine Advocate: 90-92 |
