Château Paradis Casseuil — Bordeaux Blanc Réserve 2024
Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon from Château Paradis Casseuil, part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite. Sauvignon Blanc drives the freshness and aromatics while Sémillon adds subtle texture and balance, creating a polished and very approachable expression of white Bordeaux.

Aromas & Flavors
Lemon peel, fresh citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle herbal notes. Bright aromatics keep the profile lively and immediately inviting.

Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied, crisp, and beautifully balanced, with uplifting acidity providing plenty of freshness. Clean and energetic through the finish without becoming overly sharp.

Food Pairings
Oysters, shrimp, grilled white fish, seafood salads, goat cheese, or lighter Mediterranean dishes. Equally enjoyable as a casual aperitif.

Verdict
A terrific introduction to white Bordeaux. It doesn’t try to be cerebral or overly complex; instead, it delivers freshness, balance, and regional character with remarkable approachability.

Did You Know?
Château Paradis Casseuil has belonged to Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite since 1984. Located in Entre-deux-Mers, its soils include clay, limestone, marl, and sandstone formations that help retain freshness in the vineyard.

🍷 Personal Pick
I love this for exactly what it is: affordable, aromatic, balanced, and genuinely representative of white Bordeaux. The fresh lemon-peel character and uplifting acidity make it incredibly easy to enjoy, yet there is enough polish to impress just about any palate. A very smart casual Bordeaux Blanc. — 17 hours ago

Black berries, plum, some strong but subtle tannins. The muscle of the cab seems to be more prominent. — a day ago

Bright yellow/gold color. Aromas of orchard fruit, fragrant white flowers and raw nuts. Flavors of golden delicious apple, unripe peaches, nectarines, lemon zest and those raw nuts. Long, lingering flinty/mineral driven finish. No sign of oak aging. Medium bodied and quite vibrant. Nicely structured and pretty intense. Great value. Thanks so much for the Latour Red/White Burgundy Tasting, Kase! — 4 months ago

1996 vintage. Last tasted 5.8.25 (9.5), 9.29.24 (9.5) and 8.2.24 (9.6). Decanted with some sed and tasted after an hour. Solid cork and fill. This was the worst showing of the last visits with less tannic structure and slightly more richness. Tasted a bit more like their "Au Paradis" offering. Not totally dissuaded from picking up another few bottles for enjoyment in the few 5 years or so tho. Three out of four bottles surveyed were fabulous and this wasn't a total swing and a miss. 07.18.25. — a year ago

vintage 2004 | Auxerrois at its best. Awesome balance. Impressions of honey in smell but bonedry taste. Paired with a blanquette of porc in Bistrot du Nord in Antwerp. — 3 months ago

Very elegant, textured and mildly creamy with extroverted berry, mandarin, and spice notes coating the palate with typical Gratien electricity on the persistent finish. Paired beautifully with a NY Strip. Nice way to celebrate my 50th Birthday. — 9 months ago
