Château Majoureau - Hyppos Blanc - Côtes de Bordeaux Saint Macaire

Château Majoureau - Hyppos Blanc - Côtes de Bordeaux Saint Macaire

With the Hyppos vintage, with the seahorse as its symbol, Mathieu Delong and his sister Emeline pay homage to their parents through their passions: the sea and horses. This Côtes de Bordeaux Saint Macaire is the vintage aged in barrels from old plots of Château Majoureau . This wine with a straw yellow color reveals an opulent nose of white flowers, hawthorn and yellow fruits with vanilla notes. On the palate, this Hyppos Blanc 2020 vintage from Château Majoureau is built on a material combining fat and freshness which gives way to a slightly toasted, rounded finish. An excellent quality/price/pleasure ratio for lovers of woody white wines (but not too much)!

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Château Majoureau is a 38-hectare family property located in Caudrot, in the heart of the Côtes de Bordeaux Saint Macaire and Bordeaux Supérieur appellations. Even though the estate has only been producing wine since 1981 with Monique and Bernard Delong, it was in the mid-1800s that these lands belonged to the Delong family. Today the 5th generation is at work, with Mathieu and Emeline, who continue to advance their different vintages thanks to their complementarity and their passion for wine! Château Majoureau is an essential address for Bordeaux lovers who want to get good deals!
