A Bordeaux white with an unusual grape on the label


I snapped this label from the shelves of one of the big two supermarket chains the other day. I had fleetingly seen this particular wine before, but I seem to encounter the other white wine from this estate more often - that does not list grapes on the label. I had blogged about a Chilean Sauvignon Gris some time ago, but it seems to be unusual to find this grape listed on the label of any wine, let alone a Bordeaux white. Sauvignon gris is actually allowed in both sweet and dry white Bordeaux wines, although it is rarely listed in the cepage. That again is not surprising, the amount grown in Bordeaux is actually not very much.
