2005 Chateau Guiraud Bordeaux blanc
- Share via
Somehow it’s always easier to find a good and affordable red wine than a white. That’s why this Bordeaux blanc is such a find: It’s clean and crisp with ripe fruit flavors and a lovely minerality. It’s a perfect aperitif, one that can come straight to the table -- and is a super bargain.
