Bordeaux and ‘refreshment’ may not instantly link in your mind, but Nicolas Despagnes's Maison Blanche may change that. It’s a serious vin de soif (juicy, light & easy to drink) made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc with a very short maceration time. For the 2023 vintage, it was bottled sans front label! Even though it’s glou-glou style, the Bordeaux-ness (i.e. sense of place) of it shines through brightly. Whack a chill on it and you’re in business!
