White wine allows Bordeaux proprietors to be creative and intriguing'
I'm curious. Imagine we're going to have dinner together: aperitif, white wine with the starter, red wine with the second course and a glass of Port (young, vintage) to finish. As I serve the first course, I mention that tonight's white is from Bordeaux. What’s your reaction? He’s gone for a cheap option? Maybe. It'll be a soundly made fresh white without much personality? Perhaps. Wow: an intriguing terroir choice! Doubtful. He’s found an exciting alternative to white Burgundy? Improbable.
