A big, rich wine that is dominated by wood and ripe fruit. One of its range of appellation wines, Dourthe has set out to show the quality of simple Graves, and has succeeded well with this wine, powered with superripe fruit and creamy intensity.  — R.V.  (6/1/2005)

  1. $10
Dourthe’s branded Bordeaux is one of the best around, and this white from vintage 2003 is no exception. With its ripe, honeyed fruit, it is delicious both as an apéritif and as a food wine. Layers of soft creaminess are backed by fine crisp acidity.  — R.V.  (6/1/2005)

Dourthe 2006 Numéro 1 White (Bordeaux Blanc)

Always one of the most reliable and successful white Bordeaux brands, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc. The 2005 is a rich, tropical fruit and white currant-flavored wine. There is some green plum, fresh acidity and a hint of wood. Great as an apéritif, it also works well with sushi.  — R.V.  (12/31/2007)

Dourthe 2008 La Grande Cuvée White (Bordeaux Blanc)

  • Online Exclusive
Highly aromatic wine, with upfront herbaceous fruits that could give New Zealand Sauvignons a run for their money. What gives it an extra element is a creamy applesauce flavor that smooths the wine and makes it richer.  — R.V.  (6/1/2010)
