I avoided Sauvignon Blanc while touring NZ but was convinced I should give this a try while visiting the winery. This is a white Bordeaux, very similar to my last bottle of white Lynch Bages. I wouldn’t lay this down for too long but it was a very pleasant surprise.

Sadly, this is the last of my '07. I've been buying Pipeau for years and, unlike so many big name wines, this is always better than expected. Wish I had more.

First of the case bought en primeur. As usual, I had a try upon opening in order to see how it develops over the next hour. First note was the amazing colour; deep and rich. The nose has all the great Margaux notes that you would expect. I sat for a moment thinking that two out of three is great and expecting to be disapointed by the first swish; good news, the taste is full, balanced and ready to go. No sharp edges, enjoy!
