Tasting
Sauvignon which expresses itself fully. Mango aromas on the nose. On the palate, the wine is full and round. The sweetness is balanced by a fine liveliness with exotic touches for a pleasantly acidic sensation. The wine oscillates between the fatness provided by the clay-limestone soils, the freshness, the fruitiness conferred by the "caillotes" and the flint that gives it minerality.
Food pairings
Fish, seafood or goat cheese
