2021 Villa Pereire L’Éclat Bordeaux Blanc

White Bordeaux is one of the most recondite pleasures in all of French wine — celebrated by those who know it, persistently underestimated by everyone else. The 2021 Villa Pereire L’Éclat is exactly the bottle that converts skeptics: Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers, the name meaning simply “the brilliance,” and brilliance is precisely what it delivers. Citrus zest, white peach, a touch of honey and that clean, limpid mineral freshness that only Bordeaux Blanc achieves — the Sauvignon providing lift and aromatic energy, the Sémillon rounding everything into something genuinely complete. A magnificent partner for oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese or simply the kind of Tuesday evening that deserves something quietly beautiful in the glass
