The white wine of Château du Taillan is called La Dame Blanche, and is made solely from the Sauvignon Blanc, making it a single-variety wine. It already has a well established reputation. The white grapes are harvested by hand and usually put into stainless steel vats towards the end of September, at a temperature of around 18°C. La Dame Blanche is a very fruity wine, with citrus aromas and, in certain years, exotic fruits. The wine has a soft and rounded texture, making it a charming wine, but very different to most Sauvignon Blanc we know today. It can be enjoyed either as an appetiser, or with seafood. The name of the wine derives from a local legend, but you will have to come to the Château and ask about it yourself.
