“Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little
music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.” – John Keats
The region of Bordeaux is best known
for its hearty red wines including Cabernets and Merlots that hail from Médoc,
Graves and Pomerol. 80 – 90% of the wines produced in Bordeaux are red. Tucked
in the southernmost region of Bordeaux is a vast expanse of forested land known
as Entre-Deux-Mers. The appellation for this region offers us a different focus
with it’s white wines taking the lead in sales and recognition. Today I will highlight an excellent wine for
the summer, Château La Rose de Vitrac.
Château La Rose de Vitrac is a blend
of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This white blend has a surprisingly light
taste in comparison with other whites from the Bordeaux region.

HelpfulTip: Appellation is a legally defined and protected geographical area
that is used to identify where the grapes for a particular wine were grown.
Château La Rose de Vitrac starts with a light
melon taste with hints herbs and lemon flavors rounding out the experience. It is a zesty wine that is an
excellent value at $8-$9 a bottle. Don’t let the low price make you think that
this isn’t a quality wine. This is a great every day drinking wine that you don’t
have to break the bank to enjoy. You can find it in a variety of wine and
spirits stores. It pairs nicely with fish, fruit and cheeses. Be sure to try
this one. It may become a summer favorite!
Remember to drink what it
is that makes you truly happy and always think positively!
Drink Responsibly!
I've never cared much for white wines except for Rieslings or some of the sweeter Germans, or dessert wines. That said, I tried the Château La Rose de Vitrac and really enjoyed it. It was not full bodied like some of the Chardonays but very fresh. In my opinion, the Château La Rose de Vitrac would be great as a table wine, paired with salmon or some other fish dishes. If you are like me and not too hot for white wines don't be afraid to try the Château La Rose de Vitrac. You'll be pleasantly surprised!
