What to Expect

Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshingly crisp white wine that offers citrus and tropical fruit flavors with very aromatic notes of green chilies, grass, herbs, asparagus and gooseberries commonly contributing to the bouquet. Sauvignon Blanc is generally unaoked allowing the fruit to shine and highlighting the delicacy of the grape.

sharp nose, mineral, yellow flower, touch of ash, touch of green pepper, green apple notes, a hint of celery, lovely zesty entry, succulent with lemon and mineral tones, gains nice depth in the mouth with a suggestion of sweetness from the ripe fruit, a touch of Asian pear to the lime and grapefruit pith fruit, nice clean, minerally finish good length, very nice 91pts

This is solid Sancerre that makes for a great everyday white wine. Produced at a small estate from 30-year-old Sauvignon Blanc vines, this wine is left in contact with the lees until bottling. With excellent ripeness of white fruit and fresh white flowers, this Sancerre represents a leaner style that’s approachable today.

Mellow floral, peach driven aromas. Palate is fresh and acidic, but dry with a bit of creaminess that compliments an eternal finish. Quite good.
