One of the most prolific winemaking families in the world is the Lurton's. After reviving several famous Chateaus in Bordeaux, Francois Lurton turned away from his Bordelais path and started making remarkable wine across South America's heritage vineyards. With "Les Fous," Lurton partnered with fourth generation winemaker Andres Blanchard on an ambitious project to create Argentina's first and only winery to focus solely on white wines. The 2022 Sauvingon Blanc/Semillon comes from a single vineyard site in Chacayes, a high elevation site in the Uco Valley where vines age 25+ years. The alluvial soils are chalky, created by a mountain river that once flowed through the Andes. The arid conditions create a temperature amplitude that imparts delicate floral and citrus notes, with a light to medium-bodied palate with amazing natural acidity. If you're a big fan of white Bordeaux, you're going to love Les Fous!
"A pure, perfumed and tropical nose with some golden berries and passion fruit. Quite intense and focused. The dry and clear palate delivers plenty of fruit with bright acidity and an elegant finish. Very bright on the nose with a subtle, mineral drive. Around 5% semillon in the blend, too." James Suckling, 92 Points
