Elegant and Fruity
Sauvignon 100%
2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!
Brilliant very pale yellow colour with silver highlights.
Expressive and aromatic. Very elegant bouquet with aromas of lemon, ripe grapefruit, honey, and white flowers (acacia, lime and elder blossoms).
Well-balanced and long on the palate with fruity flavours (nectarine, white peach) as well as subtle overtones of white flowers (acacia and elder blossom) that follow through from the bouquet. Fresh and beautifully vivacious, with mineral and lemony notes, the aftertaste is also quite attractive. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is wonderful with fish and seafood dishes, as well as cheeses, especially goat's cheese and Comté.

Remarkable wine - This Pessac has a pale colour and a particularly rich and complex bouquet of white peach, pineapple, mango, lemon, and boxwood. The palate reveals impeccable intensity and balance. The flavour is both rich and fresh with plenty of power, especially on the tight, concentrated aftertaste. Although already pleasant and balanced, this wine will gain form with further ageing. Ageing potential: 2020-2025. Food and wine matches: All sorts of refined fish and seafood dishes.
Real lift and freshness on top of enormous lushness - so difficult to believe this is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. As usual. When to drink : 2017 – 2027.
Bright yellow colour with green hue. Expressive and aromatic nose, grapefruit, passionfruit, gooseberries and hints of ripe kiwi. On the palate juicy and fresh with mild acidity, multi-layered citrus fruit and tropical nuances, excellent length. Very refined character.
Touched by toast, this is a lovely wine, its acidity delicious filled out by lemon, apple and apricot tones. The texture is lively and bright, leading a refreshing finish. (Roger Voss)
This is excellent in a challenging vintage for whites. Here they have managed to capture lovely fresh, crisp lemon and elderflower flavours with a good depth of expression. It will deepen further during ageing, as it has 10 months on lees with stirring. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Drinking Window 2019 – 2030. (Jane Anson)
Full and tangy with sliced-lemon and mineral character. Bright acidity and a clean finish.
2018 - 2031
