Chateau de Chantegrive Graves Bordeaux 2009 AOC

Variety: 50% Semillon, 50% Sauvignon 
Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Bordeaux, Graves
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: light yellow
Bouquet: white currant, gooseberries
Taste: medium body, canned gooseberries, rounder structure, white peach, to me less freshness and acidity one would expect,at the end white grapefruit, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: fish
Overall score: 4+7+10+5+6+50=81
Price: CZK 250 from web

Somehow I am not a fan of white Bordeaux, you can get better Sauvignon blanc from the Czech Republic, leyda valley in Chile or even Sancerre or Pouilly Fumé for this price
