Bastion de Camerac, 'Cuvée Tradition Blanc', 2024, Entre-Deux-Mers (AOC)

'One-Liner'
Bright, easy-going white Bordeaux with citrus, exotic fruit and flowers, wrapped around a crisp, refreshing finish.

Tasting Note
Pale yellow with a gentle golden glint, opening with fresh aromas of lemon, grapefruit and white flowers alongside a touch of ripe exotic fruit. The palate is crisp and lively, with Sauvignon bringing citrus freshness while Sémillon adds a little roundness and breadth. Muscadelle contributes a delicate floral lift, giving the wine more aromatic interest without becoming overtly perfumed. There is a clean, juicy quality through the middle, with enough texture to make it versatile at the table. Fresh and uncomplicated on the finish, with citrus and tropical fruit lingering behind.

The Story
Bastion de Camerac comes from Château La Tuilerie du Puy, a Regaud family property overlooking the Dropt Valley in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers. The estate has been in the same family since 1616, with Michaël Regaud taking the reins in 1996 after gaining winemaking experience in California. Its vineyards sit on the rolling clay-limestone country typical of this part of Bordeaux, and the domaine has placed increasing emphasis on biodiversity, sustainable farming and agroecological measures, earning HVE certification. Cuvée Tradition Blanc is the fresher face of the estate, built around Bordeaux’s classic white varieties and aimed squarely at purity, citrus fruit and easy drinkability.
