Big round wine for a Sauvignon Blanc. Nice acidity with lemon and a bit of an herbal note on the finish. Flexible food wine, in this case a pea soup with potatoes and bacon; well matched.

This is a very well made Sauvignon Blanc but I was expecting something different based on the blend, and frankly something a little more 'wow' for the price. On the palate this came across as a characteristic SB with great purity and freshness and the occasional intrusion from the Viognier which added some weight and fruitiness. The finish was relatively short. Pleased to have tried this wine from this famous producer and to experience something different but not rushing out to buy more.

Big wine, but good precision. Bright acidity with lemon and herbal character and some spicy exotic notes. Good finish. Holds up well to rich or spicy foods. Went nicely with cassoulet and pork loin. Interesting blend this vintage: 61% SAUVIGNON BLANC 23% VIOGNIER 14% VERMENTINO 2% PETIT MANSENG

Excellent white, fresh and a bit citric.
