Chateau Rahoul White

AOC Graves

Château Rahoul is one of only a handful of Graves wines to belong to the highly selective Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. On the palate, this Graves white wine offers complex flavours of white peaches, limeflower and citrus, freshness and depth. This is an ageworthy wine, and all the more elegant if enhanced by several years ageing.

Tasting notes

Attractive pale straw in colour, tinged with green flashes. On the bouquet, white fruit aromas - predominately peach - intermingle with subtle, floral, lilac notes. Initially delicate on the palate, the wine rapidly blossoms in stature, offering lovely, concentrated mouthfeel, due to the semillon which dominates the blend. This exquisite Chateau Rahoul culminates in a lingering finish, underpinned by fresh, wellbalanced flavours.

Blending

  • 87% Sémillon
  • 13% Sauvignon blanc

Food pairing

Perfectly matches poultry (ginea fowl, roasted chicken), fishes (lobster, skate with cream and sauces), crustacean (oysters, crab), and cheese (unpasteurized and mature cheese).

The 2022 Rahoul Blanc, mostly Sémillon, is a distinctive white marked by its phenolic-like intensity. Dried flowers, orchard fruit and chamomile are some of the many notes that grace the 2022, a white that stands out mostly because of its textural feel. Tasted two times.

Bright yellow colour with green hue. Elegant yet slightly closed nose with slightly restrained fruit, hints of aromatic herbs and discreet minerality. On the palate well-balanced with crisp character, restrained fruit and aromatic herbs, well structured and good length.

Drinks business

Tasted alongside the La Garde this is much more conventional, but still nicely done. [...] Rich and full, but sufficiently tense and charged with fresh citrus notes to keep this in check and nicely balanced. White peach and pear, lemon cordial and a little confit grapefruit. Shorter than La Garde and with less zest but certainly one of the better wines of the appellation in this vintage. [...]

Château Rahoul is one of only a handful of Graves wines to belong to the highly selective Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. The chateau produces alluring, distinctive wines, with juicy, dark fruit flavours and delicate tannins. It expresses all the fruit character and elegance of Merlot, enhanced by the complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
L’Orangerie de Rahoul is the perfect introduction to Château Rahoul’s fine wine. It pays tribute to the wealth of terroirs where it finds its home, and which make this Graves wine stand apart from all the rest. It takes its name from Château Rahoul’s magnificent orangery and is a nod to its rich past.
