AD FRANCOS Bordeaux Blanc

AD FRANCOS Bordeaux Blanc is a refined and expressive white Bordeaux from Château Ad Francos, crafted in the historic Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux area and shaped by limestone-clay soils that lend freshness, precision, and mineral tension. Bright and aromatic, it opens with elegant notes of citrus, white peach, pear, spring flowers, and subtle exotic fruit, carried by a crisp, lively palate that balances roundness with vibrant acidity. Fresh, polished, and versatile, this Bordeaux Blanc is ideal for seafood, grilled fish, goat cheese, or aperitif occasions, offering a sophisticated expression of Bordeaux whites with charm, purity, and finesse.

Château Ad Francos Bordeaux Blanc is produced from carefully tended white grape parcels grown on the estate’s clay-limestone terroir, a soil profile known for preserving freshness while adding texture and complexity. Vinified with attention to aromatic purity and balance, the wine is crafted to highlight clean fruit, floral lift, and lively mineral character. The result is a fresh yet layered Bordeaux Blanc that reflects both the château’s historic character and the elegance of this lesser-known corner of Bordeaux.

Aromatic and inviting, the nose reveals citrus blossom, lemon zest, white peach, green apple, and pear, accented by delicate floral notes and a touch of tropical freshness.

The palate is bright and supple, showing juicy orchard fruit, citrus, and subtle stone fruit flavors supported by crisp acidity and a gentle mineral edge.

Clean and refreshing, the finish lingers with floral lift, zesty freshness, and a polished, food-friendly elegance.

What makes this wine special is its ability to combine Bordeaux classicism with vibrant drinkability. Coming from Château Ad Francos, a historic estate better known for its reds, this white cuvée offers a fresh and elegant counterpoint to the château’s more powerful wines. Its limestone-clay terroir gives it lift and precision, while its balanced fruit profile makes it equally appealing as an aperitif or at the table. It is a graceful, versatile Bordeaux Blanc that delivers both freshness and character.

Serve well chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F) to emphasize its aromatic brightness and crisp finish. Pair it with oysters, grilled shrimp, white fish, sushi, goat cheese, or light poultry dishes. Best enjoyed young for its freshness and aromatic purity, though it has enough structure to develop additional nuance over a short period in bottle.
