Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Author: Ken Gargett | Wine Pilot
This is a highly lauded Sauv Blanc and deservedly so. Their fifteenth release from the close-spaced Crayères vineyard. Partly fermented in large old oak and with no malo, it is a world away from the cheap and cheerful Savvies that seem to proliferate when drinking and not thinking is required. The colour is a pale lemon with green flecks. A worked style, this is Savvy with full-on complexity. Citrus and spices to the fore and there might just be the merest whiff of oak. Lemons, grapefruits and gooseberries. The wine is delightfully fresh and there is good linear acidity here, along with impressive length. There is a slightly sour note right on the finish which ties things together. Good drinking, now and for the next four to six years.
