The Underrated World of White Bordeaux with Mary Gorman-McAdams MW
In this episode of The Vint Wine Podcast, hosts Billy Galanko and Brady Weller sit down with Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW to explore the evolving world of white Bordeaux—a category that has long been overshadowed by the region’s celebrated reds but is now gaining recognition for its diversity, structure, and aging potential.
Mary shares insights from her upcoming book on Bordeaux’s white wines, diving into the history, terroir, and winemaking techniques that define the category. The discussion covers everything from the classic barrel-aged whites of Pessac-Léognan and Graves to the fresh, stainless-steel-fermented styles of Entre-Deux-Mers and the emerging Médoc Blanc classification. She also highlights how top producers are experimenting with amphora, concrete, and larger oak vessels to refine texture and complexity.
The conversation also delves into the rise of Crémant de Bordeaux, as the region’s sparkling wines gain traction both in local production and international markets. Mary provides an in-depth look at how winemakers are balancing traditional techniques with modern viticulture, including how climate change, evolving vineyard practices, and disease-resistant grape varieties are influencing the future of white Bordeaux.
Additionally, the episode covers the latest Cru Bourgeois classification updates, the challenging yet promising 2024 Bordeaux vintage, and what collectors and enthusiasts should consider when exploring white Bordeaux for their cellars.
