With the first release of this wine 25 years ago, we showed judges and consumers alike that Bordeaux whites could have the elegant restraint of France and also the vibrant fruitiness of the New World. Such a novelty that 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 or spicy noodles.
