Château Laulerie
Comtesse de Segur Montravel White Blend
Montravel, Southwest France, France
Starts out as in your face Sauvignon blanc, but balanced enough to be quite enjoyable.

Perhaps more bakery than fruit cart, this Bergerac sec is a rich & toasty white. Sauvignon Blanc & Sémillon aged 6 months in French oak. First nose of piney citrus gives way to freshly baked thumbprint cookies (fruity vanilla butter biscuits). Delicate savors of gooseberries & exotic fruits (lychee/rambutan) play against its toasty-buttery-creamy backdrop. This refined, main-course white in its rumpled bottle was an unusual find in my area where white wines are scarce and mostly Moelleux (sweet) :(
