The Buffeteau family have been making wines in the Entre-Deux-Mers for many generations. Jean-Paul and Huguette Buffeteau created Château La Grande Métairie in 1964. Their 2021 is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle. Sauvignon Gris is a color mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, so its skin color is neither red, nor white, but pink. The Sauvignons offer grapefruit and green apple fruit notes, and Muscadelle provides freshness and floral aromas. It is bright and fresh with crisp acidity and priced to be your house wine.
