We'd be remiss to overlook the dry, freshly structured white wines of Graves when stunning incarnations like Chateau Lugaud's 2019 cuvee appear before us. The ripe stone fruit layers of Semillon undulate between Sauvignon Blanc's bright citrus and floral-scented accents from Muscadelle to achieve a balanced, dynamic style. With 60% savings and free shipping on four bottles or more, it's time to admire another side of Bordeaux's important viticultural legacy!

Clear yellow robe with brilliant reflections. Delicate perfumes with some grapefruit and lemon. This wine flourishes with intense aromas of honey and green apple. The mouth is slightly sweet, awakened by a bright and saline finish. Nice young, but can be kept for several three years.

This warm, ripe and generous wine has a good balance between fresh citrus flavors and rich, spicy baked-apple fruits. With touches of toast attractively in place, the wine will age well. Drink from 2022.
