Chateau Baret Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2019
"I don’t mind giving everyone a shock -- including myself.” -- Jessica Findlay
US. EITHER!! When it comes to crackling, electrifying 91-POINT Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux --- Pessac-Leognan to be specific (land of legendary whites from Chateau Haut-Brion, La Mission Smith Haut Lafitte, and more...)! This is a bottle of extreme pick-me-up mouth-watering deliciousness at 50% OFF! Boom!
White Bordeaux! This is a wildly affordable luxury at our STELLAR price, oh yes --- zingy and oh-so-fresh and complex. Chateau Baret is a well-known and respected property in this appellation, now owned by the Ballande family for over two CENTURIES (winemaking overseen by prominent University of Bordeaux professor and consultant Denis Dubordieu), and the wines regularly score very highly considering its $40-ish price tag -- at $20 this is a “back up the truck” kind of deal. So good!
SO much zippy, zesty, puckery-great acidity, wet stone, piquant minerals, tangy, lip-smacking citrus fruits, and lime pith (the white part). There’s a level of complexity that makes us think of green mangoes, and almonds...nice richness and length....there’s a bit of semillon in here that lends a bit of texture to the super-bright freshness. 2019 is such an easy-to-drink vintage...PLEASE, you gotta be sipping this ASAP. Get a cheese board and you’re SET. OK -- off to the pool (well, our friend's pool). While it lasts..!
