"Finally, the 2022 Ch. Bastor-Lamontagne ‘Confidence’, the previous vintage of which taught me not to be so dismissive of the dry whites of Bordeaux. I just never think to buy such wines, but then I taste something like this and wonder why I’m such a twit, because it’s lovely. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from a famous estate best known for its sumptuous Sauternes, it’s rich and tropical with underlying citrus notes and a whisper of vanilla. A seriously fine dry wine."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

If you've got a soft spot for the crisp, refreshing elegance of finer Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Marlborough, etc), the newly released 2022 Bastor-Lamontagne Confidence Bordeaux Blanc is here to make that spot softer. Savour the crisp, refreshing elegance of finer Sauvignon (with a touch of Sémillon) from Bordeauxs distinguished dry white winemaking tradition.

Here, its most distinguished. With aromatic citrus zest, mineral nuance on the nose and a thrilling mélange of fresh, juicy pineapple, mango, red grapefruit on the palate, Confidence offers a new and deeply delicious dimension of Sauvignon expression for your drinking pleasure. Pleasure that's easily equal to what you'll enjoy from more renowned Sauvignon Blanc appellations.

What's more, an invigorating, mouth-watering lash of vibrant acidity makes this Bordeaux Blanc not just a supreme food pairing option, but a robustly age-worthy one as well. One to reward you with captivatingly complex, honeyed, and nutty nuances after just a few years in the cellar.

But because Château Bastor-Lamontagne are primarily a dessert wine producer in Bordeaux's Sauternes region (Preignac), their production of this dry white is tiny. And because we so highly recommend savouring the delights a few years cellaring will bring, it's well worth stocking up on extra bottles.

Lovely, soft nose of lemon and green fruit. Complex with an exciting myriad of flavours including pineapple, mangoes, lemons and vanilla from just the right amount of oak aging. Fresh and crisp with good underlying acidity and a delicious wine that will age well.

"It's thanks to wines such as the 2021 Château Bastor-Lamontagne 'Confidence' that I've changed my mind about dry white Bordeaux. I never used to 'get it' and would never think of buying it, preferring almost anything else white and chilled. Then this comes along, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon (just a bit for texture), from an estate best known for its sublime sweet wines, and I realise I'm mad to ignore it. It's just so tasty, soft, creamy and tropical with an underlying zestiness and energy and so well-priced."
