Comment

Located in the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, this five-century-old estate has belonged to the Millet-Onillon family for six generations. 60 hectares are cultivated in polyculture, including 30 hectares of vines grown organically, using artisanal and environmentally friendly methods. The new generation of producers is pushing their environmental commitment even further with the introduction of recyclable and returnable bottles. To this must be added the refusal of the easy way and the never satisfied desire to always do better. The quality strategy of the Millet-Onillon family is summed up in its motto “without concession, without sharing, quality above all”. La Dame de Rouchet, produced using the most traditional methods, pays homage to the woman who knew how to keep this family vineyard alive and lasting. A vintage of character, it embodies the subtle alliance of the “extraordinary ordinary”: an uninhibited wine, vibrant with pure indulgence. Both elegant, bright and resolutely modern.

Tasting

A golden color, silky freshness and the promise of pleasure in every sip. This sweet white Bordeaux seduces with its bouquet of notes of ripe yellow fruits, white flowers and a touch of delicately scented honey. On the palate, its sweetness is balanced with a beautiful liveliness, offering a velvety texture and a fresh, elegant and persistent finish. A gourmet wine that goes just as well with an aperitif as with foie gras, blue-veined cheese or a fruit dessert.
