  Excellent. I love this style of Sauvignon Blanc with the French ak influence balancing the grassy fruit character that dominates NZ and Aussie styles. Very restrained and nuanced. 14.5% alc. but not obvious.
  Colour: pale straw
  Bouquet: floral, touch of lemon and lemongrass, slightly smokey
  Palate: a bit more intense than the nose, similar characters to nose though, very clean, balanced acid and long finish. Minerals. Buttery/creamy. Complex and very drinkable. Opens out as it breathes, with melon and pineapple characters.

  Fuller bodied for Sav Blanc. Buttery and creamy as it warms in the glass. Very nice finish. Alternative wine to pair with Chardonnay foods.

  Le p'tit blanc en apéro, habituellement je passe mon tour et laisse Chérie s'amuser avec sur le patio en prenant ma Heineken au soleil. On m'avait dit grand bien de ce Fumé blanc et, parce que c'était vendredi, il faisait beau, madame avait ramenée quelques sushi etc... j'y ai goûté. Magnifique, la fraicheur de ce vin, sa vigueur, son boisé qui en fait une apéro exquis malgré ses 4 ans bien sonnés! Malheureusement, on en avait qu'une bouteille... on ne m'y reprendra plus!

  A good sauvignon blanc that probably should be drunk soon. Lots of melon and pineapple, some good acid, and nice creaminess. Great with chips, almonds and snacks.
