Dude, get over it. You said you wanted reasonably priced Bordeaux, and we found it. And now you’re telling me “uh, but this isn’t red!”

Damn right. That’s why they call this a “white Bordeaux,” or if you’re getting all fancy, “Bordeaux Blanc.”

The wine is made by the Lacoste family, and they are in their 7th generation of winemaking in the gently rolling hills of Bordeaux (and no, we don't know if they are related to the LaCoste family that makes the polo shirts).

In a world where Sauvignon Blanc has taken off in the imagination (and fixations) of wine consumers, this bottle is kind of an outlier. 

1. It's from Bordeaux, land of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and other Meritage blend grapes. But it's got NONE of those varieties. 
2. It's not from New Zealand or Sancerre either. If it were from either, it'd be less expensive (NZ) or WAY more expensive (Sancerre)
3. This wine is a blend of Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle (say what?) Curious grapes for curious imbibers.
1. Sauvignon Gris brings elegance and floral effusion to the wine — it's a mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, but the skin is grey, kind of like the way your skin got that time you crashed that sorority party in college and you made a cocktail with shots of Frangelico, vodka, Jägermeister, root beer, whipped egg whites, and lemon-lime Gatorade; when you awoke three days later you didn't remember anything, but they told you that you'd had a swell time, and a Eno/Viticulture major even mentioned that your complexion reminded them of the Sauvignon Gris they picked that time they helped harvest in Bordeaux. 
2. Muscadelle though, offers gentler acidity and a rounder feel; Muscadelle’s aromatic lift balances Sauvignon Gris’s weight.

The bottom line is it tastes good, and there's nothing around $15 that'll give you more worthwhile drinking.
