Mineral without being steely - a bit softer than a Sancerre. Complex and layered. Lovely Sauvignon Blanc with grapefruit, passion fruit and wet stone

Chalky limestone comes through on this Sauvignon Blanc as only Francis Blanchet can tease from Pouilly Fumé's varied slopes. This is exceptional and toe tapping and invigorating.

Smells like lime, gentle cream, and chalk - almost like a mild cheese. Tastes good - green apple, lime, slight chalkiness. Crisp. No off flavors. Fine deal for the $10 I paid (marked down from $20). I could really see this with goat cheese.

16/20 (88/100) Аромат белой смородины, абрикосов, груши и сырых камней. Умеренная кислотность. Вкус соответствует аромату. Свежее и элегантное.

Salty mineral, almost chalky. Serve with fish in beurre blanc? Lamb kofte?

Nose- bright green pear,sour and earthy notes, slight floral, citrus, light sweet corn showing a bit of body. No funny or unpleasant smells. Taste- Citrus, little tart, not very aggressive on mineral or bitterness. No taste of sweetness. Crisp and refreshing. Light and pleasant. Finish lingers for a while and then the bitterness comes in. Wonderful bright crisp and mouth watering wine. Great served chilled.
