Entre Deux Mers Château Pierrousselle 1996
Château Pierrousselle presents this 1996 white wine from the Appellation Entre-Deux-Mers Contrôlée. Cultivated by viticulturist Michel Lafon, the wine was carefully selected by consulting oenologists and both vinified and bottled directly at the estate.
The estate is located in Entre Deux Mers, an area situated between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers in the renowned Bordeaux region. Bordeaux, positioned along the Atlantic coast, has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally recognized for its historic 1855 classification and elegant blended wines. While the left bank of the Gironde is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel soils and the right bank by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Entre Deux Mers is specifically celebrated for its dry white wines, traditionally crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. The 1996 vintage in this region is described as classic and structured, achieving a score of 94 points.
Wines from Entre Deux Mers are traditionally recognized as food-friendly Bordeaux productions, historically paired with fish, seafood, and light dishes, or served as an aperitif.
