Chateau Lafont Menaut Blanc
‘Dense and fruity with layers of fruit, sliced lemons and an apple and mineral undertone. Lovely density.’ James Suckling.
This wine is aged in oak barrels, which gives them finesse and complexity. The white wine is fresh and fruity. Although enjoyable young, the Sémillon grapes and barrel ageing mean that it can also improve in bottle.
