Maybe it's just my bottle, but this is definitely over the hill. No Sauvignon Blanc aromas left but lots of leesiness. Medium finish suggests this would probably be quite compelling when younger.

Still one of the best values in all of Sauv Blanc, and surely competes with most Sancerre at the entry level. The 2013 vintage is slightly more lean in the mouthfeel than the last one, but the nose is more floral and sows exoctic fruit and minerals.

Nice, thought this was drinking better than a sample I got in May. Acid, tropical.

Apricot, tart green apple and lemon with a touch of minerality. Clean and crisp for the price, prefect pair with Asian food especially at this price even in a restaurant.

Killer value entry French sauv. Bright and vibrant, stone fruits and melons on nose with balanced acid.

Exceptional balance and pretty complex for the price point. Flinty minerals and tropical fruit. Evolves and gets more interesting with a bit of air.
