In 1998, Corinne and Jean-Michel Comme began a venture in the aristocratic regions of Bordeaux, in the outlying Sainte-Foy, becoming one of the region’s first organic properties. Jean-Michel had been working at Château Pontet-Canet in Pauillac and purchased five hectares of about sixty-year old vines, buried across the river in fine clay-limestone soils.

Staff Pick Notes

St. Foy is in the eastern portion of Bordeaux actually very close to Bergerac. The Comme family came to this area from Italy over a century ago. The current vignorons Corinne and Jean-Michel Comme converted the 3.2 hectare white grape vineyard to organic then biodyamic farming practice and the results speak for themselves. Its rare to find a wood aged white that I actually like apart from very expensive white Burgundy. Here the combination of large old wooden barrels and extended lees ageing gives this wine a wonderful texture without losing acidity or slipping into being oaky. Citrus fruit and white flowers meld for a classic white bordeaux that I would definitely recommend.

Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

Bordeaux

Situated on the mid-Atlantic coast of France around the Gironde river, Bordeaux is home to some of the most legendary wines on earth.

For white Bordeaux, only three varieties are permitted: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillion, and Muscadelle. The exact percentages of each grape variety used in any...
