Château Ducasse
White Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
Nose has green melon rind, over-ripe peach, orange pith, pink salt slab, golden raisins, dehydrated apricots and celery leaf; Improvement with extended air.
Palate has dried lemon, candied pineapple, warm clementine orange wedge, peach skin, dehydrated peach, wet sand, medium acidity and finish.
This bottle is in a nice spot today, but not up to par with the Ch. La Rame (outstanding showing) today.
$14 Jul 2015; buy and cellar inexpensive Bordeaux Blanc, be very happy later when the acidity settles...
Hold future bottles 2023-25.

The stock on this 2013 is dwindling, only a couple bottles left. I do appreciate longer term aging on inexpensive Bordeaux Blanc, but this particular bottle seems to be in a little more advanced stage (decline) than our prior bottle several months back. We have a contiguous nose and palate, lightly grassy, fresh white peach, struck granite and green melon on the medium finish. Fun stuff yet still.

Terrific quaffer. Great value. Not super complex but full of flavor with bright acids and a pleasing finish.

Enjoyed this with a seared scallop salad with arugula, fennel and blood orange gastrique! Delectable and refreshing.
