Les Arums de Lagrange 2008

Les Arums de Lagrange, crafted by Château Lagrange, is a standout white from Bordeaux. It's made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, which is quite a treat in the Bordeaux lineup. The 2008 vintage is particularly known for its harmonious blend of ripe fruitiness and elegant acidity.

In volume 31 of 'Drops of God', Laurent enjoys this wine blind at a restaurant in Paris' Latin Quarter. He was immediately captivated by its aromas of citrus, herbal notes, and a bouquet of white flowers. It was as if he was transported to a summer garden with each whiff.

When you pour it, you'll notice the clear golden hue that sparkles in the light. The aroma is open and inviting, with fresh citrus notes taking the lead, followed by herbal nuances and the graceful scent of white flowers. On the palate, it first greets you with a rich fruitiness, followed by a lively, refreshing acidity that dances across your tongue. This acidity provides a nice structure, leading to a long finish that keeps you intrigued sip after sip.

It's an elegant and delicate wine that's best enjoyed at a slightly elevated temperature to fully appreciate its aromatic and flavorful depth. Give it a try—you won't be disappointed.
