Château Doyac - The White Pelican

Sale price 19,70 €

The Pourtalès family has long wanted to produce a great white wine. This has been achieved with the birth of this new label, "Le Pélican," a white wine from a 1.5-hectare plot located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Seurin de Cadourne, chosen for its soil qualities conducive to the best expression of Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate, this wine is fruity and balanced, with delicate acidity, juicy generosity, and a pleasant sweetness. It also displays beautiful tension, elegant precision, fine grain, delicacy, and aromatic purity. The flavors on the palate express notes of juicy, pulpy lemon, bright peach, and slightly bright pear, accompanied by lemon zest, juicy kumquat, as well as delicate touches of fresh quince, white flowers, and fresh almond.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Max de Pourtalès returned to his Bordeaux roots with the acquisition of Château Doyac in the Haut-Médoc appellation in 1998. His wife, Astrid, left the New York theater scene to join him in this new adventure. Together, they fell in love with this magnificent vineyard, whose origins are ancient, as evidenced by the 1850 edition of "Bordeaux and its Wines" by Editions Féret. Max de Pourtalès has a very specific goal: to obtain healthy, ripe grapes. Season after season, he listens to his terroir, to the plant in its environment. A natural whole to which he seeks to accord the greatest possible respect, precision, and diligence. It is in this qualitative and respectful approach to the product that he opted in 2015 to convert his entire vineyard to organic farming. With this experience in mind, Max de Pourtalès wants to go even further and in 2016 he chose the path of biodynamics.
