Pale gold in colour, with lovely, balanced acidity and an impressively long finish, this is world class Sauvignon Blanc.Critic’s Tasting Note:”Exotic, spicy, and mineral, we readily let ourselves be carried away by its very expressive mouthfeel, where pineapple is subtly revealed to us. We also note a beautiful tension and remarkable freshness. A wine that respects its terroir and has it all!” Gourmets de France, 2024Also awarded Gold Medal Concours Général Agricole de Paris, 2024.
