Dourthe
La Grande Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc
Bordeaux, France
This is a lovely wine, 100% Sauvignon though it tastes as if a little semillon had been blended in to give it this silky lift and texture. Crisp acidity but blessedly free of the overly herbaceous pungency that seems so in Vogue these days. Grapefruit, passion fruit, lemon, green apples are all there but moderate acidity. Terrific good wine - I’d buy this again in a heartbeat - it was perfect with roast chicken

Grand structure and fine minerality. Bold, crisp grapefruit and lemon notes rounded out by aromatic finish. Quite nice, would pair well with curry or lentils.
