Les Belons 2018
Vin de France
For a super-fresh, Sauvignon focused white, choose Les Belons. It comes from just south of Bordeaux and close to the Atlantic – a terrific cuvée that combines Sauvignon with a splash of local Gros Manseng for lemony, stony freshness and peach fruit.

The Landes region of South West France is close to Bordeaux and best known for brisk whites like those from the Côtes de Gascogne. This is a similarly fresh wine from a brand new cellar, with vineyards warmed by the Mediterranean influence, yet cooled by the Atlantic. It’s almost all lovely ripe Sauvignon Blanc, with a dash of the local hero Gros Manseng. This portion adds apricot and peach fruit notes to the bright stony lemon notes of the Sauvignon. So crisp and fresh, this is a great candidate for summer drinking. But don’t confine it to those months – it’s a tasty palate cleanser and aperitif any time of the year. Chill well and serve on its own or with lighter dishes of spicy prawns, a tomato salad or oysters, as its name suggests.
