L'Ecole No. 41 Semillon
Full, Lush Floral, Aromatic

Winery Story

A family-owned business, L'Ecole Nº 41 was founded by Jean and Baker Ferguson. Today, the winery is owned and operated by their daughter an... (more...)d son-in-law, Megan and Martin Clubb. Built in 1915, the schoolhouse is located in historic Frenchtown, a small community just west of Walla Walla, Washington. Frenchtown derived its name from the many French-Canadians who settled in the valley during the early 1800s. Legend has it, these men of French descent were raising grapes and producing wine. By the 1860s, nurseries, vineyards and winemaking had become a part of the regions' growing economy. The name - L'Ecole Nº 41, French for "the school" located in district number 41 - was chosen to salute these pioneer viticulture efforts. The winery is currently producing about 30,000 cases annually of Semillon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Note

This golden-hued wine jumps out of the glass with luscious aromas of melon, tropical fruits, flowers, orange essence and caramel. If possibl... (more...)e, the palate is even more lush, with rich peach, apricot, pear and baking spice flavors. A ringer for the "big" white wine fans!

I smell a little vanilla, no bakig spice, it would definitely be better cold as is a bit alcoholish warm! a little bit buttery almost a bit like a conundrum, but a poor man's conundrum.

Opened this on a Thursday night afterwork. Wine was delicious on it's own, not sure I enjoyed it as much with the meal, but afterwards the wine was sweet enough to keep me from desert.
