TASTING NOTES
A beautiful pale yellow with greenish tints; subtle, complex nose. The Sauvignon is delicately expressed in citrussy notes with grapefruit and lemon zest. Passion fruit takes over on swirling, with a hint of toastiness. Vibrant attack, the overall structure nicely balanced between aromatic, fruity freshness (lemon and pineapple) and attractive volume thanks to its fine texture. Fine length, echoing notes of citrus fruit to finish. Food match : shellfish, seafood, white meat, goat’s cheese.

TASTING NOTES
Made under the watchful eye of Philibert Perrin, who is also the owner of Château Carbonnieux, this wine presents the same underlying structure with the typical freshness of Sauvignon and highly characteristic minerality. The floral and tropical aromas are echoed on the palate with a vibrant generosity which give this wine much charm. Drink chilled as an aperitif with friends, or as an accompaniment to a summer meal.
