White Bordeaux is made from 3 classic grapes: Sauvignon Blanc which provides a grassy flavor, Semillon which provides complexity and a bit of honey flavor and Muscadelle which adds aromatic Vibrancy. Entre-Deux-Mers is a sub region of Bordeaux in southwest France and it's white wines feature those three grapes.
I found the Chateau Tour de Bennet Entre-Deux-Mers at Total Wines and it was exactly what I was looking for. It was a lively fresh, crisp, fruit flavored white Bordeaux with the expected grassy flavors of Sauvignon Blanc mellowed by the softer Semillon, The wine is 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle with an alcohol content of 12.5%.
I found the wine to exhibit a range of flavors that kept it interesting to the end of the glass. Total Wines sells this for $14.99, but with my coupon I paid $12.74. This price is not the lowest in the store for white Bordeaux but far from the most expensive. I think this is a great choice for beginning an exploration of white Bordeaux wines and I definitely enjoyed it!
