Francs, Côtes de Bordeaux
0,75
White
One of only a few white wines made on the Right Bank, le Charmes Godard made by Nicholas Thienpont is an interesting blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

It is fermented in barrel which adds richness, texture and complex oaky and honeyed notes.
