Bordeaux Wine Beyond Red
Bordeaux is synonymous with great red wines, but the Entre-Deux-Mers area (“between the two rivers”) is home to refined, fresh white blends. Château Grand Jean combines Sémillon for roundness with Sauvignon Blanc for aromatic freshness.
Tasting Notes
A beautiful, pale yellow color with light greenish hues and excellent brightness.
An expressive, fresh and very clean nose. It reveals intense aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit, lime) and juicy green apple, interwoven with the grassy notes classic to Sauvignon (freshly cut grass, boxwood) and delicate white flowers.
On the palate the wine is dry, light and remarkably lively. It stands out with crisp, invigorating acidity that balances the fruit-forward attack of citrus and white peach. The texture is smooth and airy, and the finish is clean, crisp, and leaves a very pleasant sense of lasting freshness and light minerality.
Best enjoyed well chilled at 8–10°C. Thanks to its high freshness, this wine is perfect both as a standalone aperitif and paired with fresh oysters (an absolute classic for the region), seafood, grilled river or sea fish, goat cheese salad, or chicken with herbs.
White wines from Entre-Deux-Mers are made to be drunk young, when their fruit character and freshness are at their peak. Best enjoyed within 1 to 3 years of the harvest. Store the bottle horizontally in a dark, cool place with a constant temperature (around 10–12°C).

Why a blend of two varieties? Sémillon adds weight and roundness, while Sauvignon Blanc brings aromatic freshness — a classic Bordeaux formula.
The grapes are hand-picked in early autumn.
Terroir and Winemaking Philosophy
The Entre-Deux-Mers area, located between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, offers a cooler, more humid climate than Bordeaux’s red zones — conditions ideal for fresh, aromatic white blends rather than full-bodied reds.
Château Grand Jean follows the classic Bordeaux formula — Sémillon for weight and roundness, Sauvignon Blanc for aromatic freshness. Hand harvesting and careful fermentation control preserve the balance between the two varieties.
Although Bordeaux is better known for its red wines, the white blends of Entre-Deux-Mers offer excellent value for lovers of fresh white wine.
The Perfect Occasion
Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy within 2–3 years of bottling for the optimal balance of aromas.
Its Bordeaux provenance lends prestige to any occasion — from a weeknight dinner to a more formal gathering. A good gift for a connoisseur who already appreciates Bordeaux reds and wants to try the region’s white blends.
