Opinión de los críticos
Aromas of cooked lemon, guava, flint and nettles. It’s medium-bodied with bright, tangy acidity. Fresh and precise with citrus notes on the finish. Drink or hold.
Light yellow-green, silver tints. Very restrained bouquet, white tropical fruit, a hint of grapefruit, subtle meadow herbs. Juicy, fine fruit expression, ripe tangerines, racy acidity, elegant on the finish, a lively food wine.
This wine majors more on stone fruits than citrus. It's a definite gourmet style although still with a punch of freshness running through the core. Good, enjoyable stuff from Dourthe.
Coming from the Graves region south of the city of Bordeaux, the 2018 Château Rahoul Blanc reveals a light gold hue as well as beautiful, vibrant notes of lemon curd, honeyed grapefruit, and crushed rock-like minerality. It's medium-bodied, with bright yet integrated acidity, notable balance, and a great finish. A hidden gem of a white, it has real character and should keep for 2-4 years.
