The Wine
25 years ago, we made a bold statement with the release of this wine, demonstrating that Bordeaux whites could combine France’s classic elegance and freshness with a vibrant fruitiness. It was a revelation at the time. And so, it won the International Wine Challenge ‘White Wine of the Year’ trophy. A quarter of a century later, Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua gets no less excited about his pride and joy white – personally earmarking the best grapes from Sauveterre in the Entre-Deux-Mers and supervising every step of production. The result is an enticing white wine balancing grassy freshness, lemon zip and lightly tropical fruit. Ideal for drinking on its own, its also a great match with fish, salads or spicy noodles.
"The epitome of a good Sauvignon - sharp and crisp with citrus notes. Very refreshing"
