Château Haut-Meyreau - Nu comme Un Verre 2025
Château Haut-Meyreau is part of the vibrant landscape of Entre-deux-Mers, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyard. This property of Vignobles Invindia works with a wide mosaic of terroirs, distributed around the winery, with a clear intention to offer accessible, modern wines focused on the pleasure of tasting. The estate particularly highlights Bordeaux white grape varieties, especially Sauvignon, which finds on the limestone soils a fresh, aromatic, and taut expression. Nu comme Un Verre Blanc 2025 belongs to this new generation of frank, bright, and easy-to-share Bordeaux whites. Its name perfectly reflects the spirit of the cuvée: a direct wine, stripped of artifice, designed to let the fruit and freshness speak. It is aimed at lovers of dry, lively, and thirst-quenching whites, capable of accompanying both aperitifs and meals. It is a contemporary, joyful, and sincere cuvée that gives a freer and more current image of Bordeaux white.
The Nu comme Un Verre Blanc 2025 cuvée is made from the traditional white grape varieties of Bordeaux, with a dominance of Sauvignon Blanc complemented by Sémillon and Muscadelle according to the available information for this vintage. The Sauvignon brings aromatic brightness, citrus, tension, and that immediate freshness sensation that structures the wine. The Sémillon rounds out the mouth, bringing slight volume and a softer texture, while the Muscadelle can enhance the floral and perfumed dimension of the whole. The spirit of the cuvée is based on a minimalist approach, seeking purity and drinkability rather than oaky complexity. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging on fine lees preserve the fruit's brightness while adding a slight patina in the mouth. The 2025 vintage here produces a dry, fresh, and expressive white, built around simplicity, energy, and clarity. It is a wine of immediate pleasure, to be opened young to fully enjoy its fruit and momentum.
