With the first release of this wine 21 years ago, we showed judges and consumers alike that Bordeaux whites could have the elegant restraint of France and also vibrant fruitiness – in those days that was a novelty. So it won the International Wine Challenge 'White Wine of the Year'. Over two decades later, Haut-Brion trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua gets no less excited about his pride and joy – 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, lemony light tropical fruit and zip. Now in magnums – ideal for entertaining – this elegant white is great solo or with fish, salads or spicy noodles.
