Sauvignon Blanc Cru Selection
2018
Wine description
An intense golden colour invites you to discover rich aromas and a well-developed body. Slow ageing in the cask draws out complex notes ranging from sage to paprika, from wild flowers to tobacco and leather: all rounded off in a long aftertaste.
With food
Goes well with delicate first courses, fish and shellfish, seasoned goat cheeses and cream cheese.
Aging
Suitable for drinking, with an excellent ageing potential, at least ten years.

Cru Selection
Cru Selection wines have a very rich colour, an extraordinary beautiful body, which reflects the characteristic mineral note. These non-filtered wines are also extremely persistent.
