Wines made from Blanc Dame grapes of Bordeaux
Discover the best wines made with Blanc Dame as a single variety or as a blend of Bordeaux.
Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate and preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbaceous notes. Rustically productive profile, historically destined for distillation. Now marginal, surviving in a few heritage plots and contributing to traditional eau-de-vie blends. Native French white variety from the south-west, formerly grown in Armagnac and Charente.
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
