Espirit de Saint Sulpice Bordeaux Blanc

Smooth if a bit fuller-bodied and tannic than I was expecting. Wonderful flavors of tart peach and lemon.

Fine little wine

Nothin' better than a freezing cold bottle of Bordeaux blanc! Especially if it's not too semmion-y. This one has just enough to give it grip and minerality. Delightful picnic wine.

Searing acidity, lemony, light (Intro to wine #2)

Tropical!

80/20 Sauv Blanc/Semillon White Bordeaux Blend. Intense aromas and flavors of lemon and peaches. Hints of white flowers, honey and tropical fruits. Nice minerality and acidity. Well balanced. Bone dry with a very clean finish.

It seems like a well made wine but I don't think I'd buy it again. I love New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, and this is just close enough in taste to remind me that it is not what I am drinking. It isn't that the wine is bad, just that it reminds me of something I prefer.

Grassy, mineraly, lightly tart (lemony?). Had this with Dungeness crab sushi
