Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc

A classic Sauvignon-Semillon blend. Bright straw gold. Abundant and inviting nose of orange rind and honey. Medium palate yields that same orange rind complemented by green apple, balsa wood, and stone. Firm, bracing acidity from entry to finish makes for a perfect Bordelaise dinner wine. Trout amandine is he natural pair, but any white flesh fish or baked fowl will pair well. Drink now through 2024 for best effect, but will drink well a bit longer.

Really nice nose. Citrus and grass. Great taste.

Fantastic juice. Laser sharp even with a more fleshy body. Stone fruit and river stones. Bonus honey!

I detect petroleum, not in a bad way.

16/20 (89/100)

Wow still a lot of acidity.

Great class and complexity, beautiful with asparagus!
