Château de Tiregand
  
Bergerac
Blanc Sec
This crisp, dry and fruity white wine comes from one of the most renowned producers of red wine in the Pécharmant appellation of the Bergerac vineyards. Made from Sauvignon Blanc (80%), which brings the classic aromas of straw, fresh fruit and mineral notes and expresses the terroir, and Semillon (20%) which adds finesse, body and length to the wine, this classic product embodies the freshness and engaging flavors one expects from these grapes and usually only found in other more pricey appellations.

Made by the family Saint-Exupéry, this wine was offered almost as an after-thought since I have imported their red Pécharmant wine for some time. They asked me if I had ever tried their white and a glassful quickly followed my negative response. A few tastes and a few words later, an order was on the table.

I am sure you will like this white wine as much as I do and will be as equally impressed with the price. An excellent value which well represents the appellation in character and quality.

Serve chilled as an aperitif, among friends, and also with fish and light hors d'oeuvres.
