Presentation
Located on a slope facing due south, Château Goumin has a splendid terroir. The vines grow on clay-limestone soil to produce very delicate dry white Entre-Deux-Mers that stand out thanks to their smoothness and finesse.
The vintage
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
The colour is an elegant pale yellow with light silvery green reflections.
The nose is particularly intense and complex, revealing all the characteristics of a Sauvignon harvested at full maturity. Delicious notes of white nectarine, passion fruit and citrus fruits form a delicious blend with a few floral notes.
The wine is round and creamy right from the start. Elegance and balance are ensured by the presence of a very pleasant freshness. Notes of citrus (grapefruit) add a touch of sweetness. Long finish. This wine promises to be a delightful tasting experience!
