Have you ever tried a white Bordeaux??…. Today is the first time I open one up to try it out. The producer I open up today has been around for centuries…. Since the middle ages basically. All of us know that Bordeaux is the world capital of wine located in the south western part of France. Most people think of red wine (most people being me LOL) when it comes to Bordeaux so I was really surprised when I came across this and was like “we need to try it!”

Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne is located in Preignac which is a small town within Bordeaux. They are known as primarily a dessert wine producer and only produce a small batch of dry white wine which is what we get to try today. Listen in know to get all the details on this producer, the history, the grapes and see if this one is worth your $$.

Cheers to another episode, enjoy!
