A hint of pineapple brings a sunnier dimension, while chalky mineral notes keep the aromas beautifully focused. Oak sits discreetly behind the fruit, adding polish without overshadowing the wine’s fragrant, citrus-led character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate combines juicy generosity with a crisp, mouthwatering line of acidity. A gently creamy texture gives the peach and citrus flavours substance, while a mineral edge carries through to a long, finely drawn finish. There is enough richness for butter sauces and roast poultry, alongside the freshness to flatter delicate seafood. Thoroughly inviting now, this is a white Bordeaux with the balance to develop further complexity over the next few years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Lunch deserves linen napkins and an unhurried second course.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Seared scallops with lemon butter, roast turbot with beurre blanc, grilled langoustines, chicken with tarragon cream, crab and fennel salad, or a warm goat’s cheese tart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst produced in 2011, Alto is Château Cantenac Brown’s dry white wine, named in a nod to the musical world.
