Château de Cruzeau
Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Situated between Martillac and St Médard d'Eyrans, in the south of the Pessac-Léognan appellation in the Graves region, an ancient estate whose origins are lost in the mists of time. It appears on the map drawn up by Belleyme in 1760. Pale lemon with stone and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and peach with sweet spice notes. Medium finish ending with a creamy mineral tang. Nice value!

Classy, viscous, super tropical. Exotic with papaya and lychee and gooseberries.

Oct 14th, 2016So lovely! Ripe tropical fruit salad with ginger and vanilla along with a bit of orange blossom. This is the perfect example of what sauv blanc can look like with a bit of oak and age

At £18 I have to say this is a great white Bordeaux buy 👍 available @waitrose in 🇬🇧 & good recommendation from @sypped - if you like a mineral loaded Sauv Blanc more dry & less sweet this is for you 😉

👃 Flint, gravel & minerals crunching through pineapple & melon driven tropical fruits w/ soft smoked citrus, lemongrass & herbs
👄 Med body of refreshing smooth, almost creamy, stoney mineral tropical fruits & citrus w/ a honey backbone

Color was bright yellow, almost gold, looked for The Tell-Tale green and didn't see any. On the nose it was melon and grapefruit, wet grass, bell pepper and garden vegetation, hints of citrus lemon lime, and herbs, and maybe a hint of that Tell-Tale 'cat piss' LOL. Medium high acidity, dry, on the taste it was grapefruit, lime, jalapeno, wet slate, saline, butter, maybe a hint of white pepper and green pear. Not necessarily my favorite varietal, but it was balanced and complex. It was exciting

Nice example of a fully vital 11 year white Bordeaux, decent complexity with a good fruit intensity showing a slight honeyed fruit. A somewhat short finish and few obvious dents on the palate is dragging the wine down and unmasking the quality. Still a bargain for 119 SEK (12 EUR)

100% Sauvignon Blanc which for me to like means a lot. Slight green pepper but a ton of minerality and leese notes.
