Beauregard Ducasse Graves Blanc, 2024

When a friend who had traveled to Australia mentioned how much she liked Semillon as a white wine choice, I realized how rarely I see Semillons in my marketing area. This wine, selling for less than $10 at Trader Joe's, is 50% Semillon and 50% Sauvignon Blanc, and it may come close to offering what she likes.

Medium gold with some green glints. Peaches, beeswax, canteloupe and fig. Has the mellow attack and rich texture of Semillon, none of the aggressive acidity of Sauvignon Blanc. If you like Semillon, you will enjoy this wine.  Graves is a premium appellation for white Bordeaux and wines from this area rarely sell for less than $15.
