Chateau Lamothe Vincent Sauvignon Semillon

Unlike most Americans, who drink good old american beer the 4th of July, we decided instead to have a bottle of french wine... I know, very unpatriotic, but if given the opportunity to try something you've never had before, why not? This particular bottle we picked up in a liquor store in my hometown; Rockville Centre. They have a pretty good selection of wines all over the world, which is great for someone who just wants to try different wines. So getting down to business... we bought a bottle of a semillon and sauvignon blanc blend by Chateau Lamothe Vincent, and brought it to our bbq- i know- very un 4th like. But it was much better than we even thought it would be. These grapes normally used to make Sauternes in Bordeaux make a fantastic wine. Straw yellow with intense perfumes and a medium complexity. Floral and fruity with slight mineral and erby scents. When drunk, we are reminded of these white fruits (peach, apricot) and of its minerality. Definatly soft and welcoming on the palate, with a good freshness that balances out the alcohol. Intense and with a medium persistance. Overall a steal for only $11!

Abbiamo avuto l`occasione di aprire una bottiglia dell`azienda francese Chateau Lamothe Vincent, un uvaggio di semmilion e sauvignon blanc. spesso si usa per creare quella delizia si un sautern di cui noi abbiamo gia` parlato nel post...., in questo caso invece il vino era secco emolto piu` economico del sautern.
Il colore era un giallo paglierino intenso il profumo e abbastanza complesso, le note esaltavano piu`il floreale nei fiori bianchi e il ricordo dell`erbaceo trasaliva pian piano. Il fruttato si componeva nella pesca a polpa bianca e nella`albicocca il tutto sicuramente gradevole,
In bocca secco come ricordavo sopra e direi morbido sicuramente la componente del semmilion si faceva riconoscere alcool era abbastanza bilanciato,freschezza presente la nota minerale forse mancava di espressine. abbastanza bilanciato e abbastanza armonico.
Intenso all`ingresso in bocca e abbastanza persistente.
In complesso non male per un vino che in enoteca costa sui 11 $.
