With the first release of this wine 25 years ago, we showed judges and consumers alike that Bordeaux whites could combine France's classic elegance and freshness with vibrant fruitiness – in those days that was a novelty. And so it won the International Wine Challenge ‘White Wine of the Year’. A quarter of a century later Haut-Brion trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua gets no less excited about his pride and joy – personally earmarking the best grapes from Sauveterre in the Entre Deux Mers and supervising every step of production. The result is a deliciously appetising white, with a perfect balance of grassy freshness, lemon zip and light tropical fruit. Equally appealing as a glass on its own as it is with fish, salads or spicy noodles.
