The 2023 Château Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc exudes an inviting freshness with vibrant citrus notes, spring flowers, and subtle mineral undertones on the nose. On the palate, the wine is beautifully tangy and well-balanced, showcasing flavors of zesty lemon, green apple, and a touch of white peach, all underscored by a clean, crisp finish. This vintage’s characteristic finesse and minerality make it versatile and highly enjoyable.
Producer’s Background
The Dubourdieu family has been rooted in Barsac since 1890, with Hervé Dubourdieu now leading the family estates, including Château Ducasse, Roûmieu-Lacoste, and Château Graville-Lacoste. Known for his precision and commitment to quality, Hervé continues the family legacy by producing wines that showcase the complexity and pedigree of the terroir. Château Ducasse, with its emphasis on Sémillon, stands apart from other Bordeaux Blancs for its fuller body, aromatic richness, and refreshing acidity.
Vintage Notes
The exceptional 2023 growing season in Barsac delivered optimal conditions for producing wines of clarity and balance. With vines averaging 35 years in age, the harvest, carried out between mid-September and early October, yielded fruit with excellent freshness and concentration. Aging in stainless steel preserved the wine's aromatic vibrancy and zesty character.
Serving Suggestions
Best served at 50–54°F (10–12°C), Château Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc shines as an aperitif or paired with seafood such as oysters, shrimp, and white fish. Its bright acidity also complements spicy or Asian cuisine, as well as fresh goat cheeses. This wine is ready to enjoy now but will develop further complexity over the next few years.
