Terra Burdigala White
La Vigne d'Argent is made out of vineyards located in the north of the Entre-Deux-Mers area. As we are working in the vineyard and implementing strict production procedures, we can then rely on a particularly modern equipment which allows high precision in wine making techniques. With such ambitious specifications we produce a white Bordeaux that fulfils our expectation.
The wine of La Vigne d'Argent possesses a great freshness, fruit and pleasure, by ideally combining the rich Sémillon and highly aromatic Sauvignon.
The 2010 is very aromatic, with hints of grapefruit and white flowers, and possesses a great freshness. This mineral wine is ideally combining the rich Sémillon and highly aromatic Sauvignon. It’s truly a wine of pleasure.
