Château Sainte Catherine, clairet

AOC Bordeaux Clairet

The priory of Sainte-Catherine of Artolie used to lie upstream to the north-west. Since the 12th century, the door of the Sainte-Catherine chapel benevolently overlooks this plot of Gironde land that looks out over the River Garonne.

The 56-hectare (138-acre) Sainte-Catherine vineyard flourishes before a panorama that takes in the Garonne valley and the Landes forests beyond.

The nice and bright color is followed by an intense flow of strawberries and redberries scents. The full bodied but nevertheless fresh and soft palate.
