December 6, 2019 - Having enjoyed several white Bordeaux recently I grabbed this perhaps in too much of a hurry, without realising that it is 100% sauvignon blanc. This obviously means that the flavour profile is more acidic and less rich and rounded than blends with semillon, and this emphasised to me where my preferences lie.
Having said that, this is clearly a decent wine - tart green apples, moderate+ acidity on the palate and particularly on the finish. Temperature, food and air are important. For me it's better after 30 minutes open and up to maybe 12 degrees.
I guess if I had any more I'd be looking to pair them with seafood (perhaps with a citrus sauce).
But for US$20 I'd rather spend another $10 and get something like a Chateaux Carbonnieux.610 views
