Chateau Rahoul Bordeaux Blanc Graves 2016 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

"78% Sémillon, 22% Sauvignon Blanc. 5 ha white vines out of 40 ha, averaging 25 years. Sémillon on gravelly sand and clay-gravel, and Sauvignon Blanc on clay-limestone. 5,600 vines/ha; 50 hl/ha. Hand harvest in the cool of the morning. Gentle pressing under nitrogen from 0.2 to 1.2 bar (Bucher Inertys pressing system). Must clarification to 150–200 NTU. Barrel fermentation at 20 °C in 15% new French oak. No MLF. Eight months’ maturation in barrel, on lees, with bâtonnage. TA 3.95 g/l, pH 3.29, RS <2 g/l.

Tasted blind. Pale gold. Hint of asparagus sweat/reduction, then nutty oak and some lemon. Botrytis? Rich and full bodied with a hint of sweetness against the brisk acidity. Quite heady. A bit clunky, with green and lemon fruit. Touch of spice to the finish." (TJ) Tim Jackson MW

Frequently Asked Questions

This is paramount to our business. We source our products exclusively from reputable, licensed importers, distributors, wine brokers, and world-renowned auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. We also acquire bottles from select private collections where clear and documented provenance is provided, ensuring a verifiable history for our finest items.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description. We are happy to provide additional high-resolution images upon request-please contact us.

We use premium, industry-standard materials to protect every shipment. Depending on the bottle and destination, we use a combination of insulated foam box inserts, custom-fit air column bags, and heavy-weight cardboard shippers to prevent damage. For added peace of mind, we offer shipping protection against loss or damage at checkout through OrderProtection.com.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We also offer flexible payment options through Shop Pay Installments and Sezzle. For customers interested in using cryptocurrency, we accept BTC, ETH, XRP, USDC, and more through Coinbase Commerce.

Shipping costs are based on the number of bottles, the destination, and the selected shipping service. You can view all available options and their costs on the checkout screen before finalizing your order.
