Details and technical informations about Château Laquirou's Aureus Prestige.
Discover the grape variety: Merlot blanc
Simple, fresh dry whites, with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its patrimonial value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Bordeaux region. Rare French white variety, with no genetic link to red Merlot despite the name.

The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
