2022 Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc

Blend: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, MuscadelleFrom: Bordeaux, France Taste: A perennial crowd pleaser, his Bordeaux blanc is a dry white produced from vineyards within the Sauternes appellation.

It feels weightless on the palate, and the crisp finish features a refreshing note of iode (the equivalent to ocean brine). Classy. Pairing: I’m sharing a recipe for “Crab Cakes Baltimore-Style,” by Pierre Franey, because Bordeaux Blanc is absolutely amazing with seafood. This easy recipe yields about 12 cakes, and once the ingredients are sourced, the recipe only takes 15 minutes.

This Bordeaux blanc is made from old Sémillon, Sauvignon B
