A great review from one of the worlds top palates – Jancis Robinson
Distinctly firm, very fresh, fruity but not at all sweet tyle of Sauvignon with a certain mineral quality. I can’t think of any other Sauvignon Blanc that tastes like this – so much the better! Winemaker Xavier Bizot (of the Bollinger champagne family) outlines the complex winemaking regime on the back label. It was fermented and aged in oak but you don’t pick up any oak flavour. Firm finish with some real bite. I imagine this is not a wine to drink straight off the bottling line. Perhaps […] is the closest to this admirable variant on the Sauvignon Blanc theme that is to popular in the southern hemisphere.
