Château La Freynelle, Bordeaux Blanc (France) 2020

Oct 27, 2021

By Rebecca Murphy

 Jeân Bârth planted vines in the Entre du Mer region of Bordeaux in 1789.  For seven generations the property was passed from father to son.  In 1992, the tradition changed with the first daughter in the family since the French Revolution.  Veronique Bârthe is the owner and winemaker of Château La Freynelle.  Made of 60 percent Sauvignon Blanc with equal parts Semillon and Muscadelle, this is a charmingly delicious wine.  It is pale yellow in color and blessed with aromas of ripe apples and peaches mingling with wisps of honeysuckle and Kentucky mint.  It is crisp and fresh in the mouth with ripe peach, melon and Meyer lemon flavors and rich texture from the Semillon.  It offers great quality for a very affordable price. New house wine, anyone?
