Details and technical informations about Château Roustaing's Haut Benauge White.
Discover the grape variety: Durif
Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia. French variety created in 1880 by François Durif in the Isère (spontaneous cross of Syrah × Peloursin).

The wine region of Haut-Benauge
Bordeaux sub-zone at the heart of Entre-deux-Mers (9 communes of the Bordelais, well-drained clay-limestone soils between the Garonne and Dordogne, oceanic climate with moderate sunshine and rainfall). Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle as exclusive signature whites — aromas of exotic fruits, citrus and white flowers, freshness and liveliness; Sauvignon Blanc providing vivacity, Sémillon rounding the structure, Muscadelle adding subtle complexity.
The wine region of Bordeaux
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.
The word of the wine: Thick
Said of a heavy, pasty wine lacking in finesse.
