Château Moulin Rioucreux, Cuvée Zéphyr Côtes de Bourg White 2023
DESCRIPTION
In Saint Christoly de Blaye, Vignobles Guillaume Guérin farm their vines organically. Their cuvées are named after Greek deities associated with the wind, a nod to the family's ancestors, who were millers at the Moulin des Blais and the Moulin de Rioucreux.
Zéphyr is produced from a single plot of Sauvignon Gris. The juice is placed into 300-liter barrels immediately after pressing to ferment. The wine is then aged for 8 months in barrels, with regular lees stirring to keep the lees in suspension and provide richness.
The nose combines notes of citrus with toasted aromas. The palate achieves a beautiful balance between freshness and roundness.
