Blanc of Black By Château Cap Léon Veyrin
Family owned since 1810, the Château Cap Léon Veyrin originates from the meeting of Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estate. Cape comes from the word “head”. In fact, the vineyards of Cap Léon are located on the highest points of Listrac-Médoc, favoring natural drainage and ideal sunshine. Nathalie and Julien Meyre, are the 6th generation of the family running this property, perpetuate the tradition: predominance of Merlot, collage with egg white, aging of 12 months in barrels, manual harvesting for young parcels and for old vines, while bringing their dynamism to this renowned Cru Bourgeois du Médoc.
Blanc of Black is the first white wine on the property. A white wine made with black grapes: this is Julien’s challenge with plot 353 with Michel Rolland’s consulting. Inherited from his grandfather, overlooking the river and benefiting from an exceptional climate, this plot of land met all the conditions to make a great wine.
This wine is aged in stainless steel and recalls the «Heavy Metal» note of its winemaker. The freshness and liveliness in the mouth resonate like a Hard Rock album and the notes of white peaches dance delicately on the finish like a romantic ballad.
A deliciously atypical wine in its shape, texture and fruit.
