Note: "Special Trophy" (better than Gold!) at the Concours Mondial du Sauvignon (blend category)
This reserve cuvée, composed of 52% Sauvignon, 38% Sémillon, and 10% Muscadelle, is produced in the Entre-deux-Mers region. A fresh and approachable white, highly aromatic with citrus notes and delicious hints of passion fruit. The attack is lively and crisp, both smooth and refreshing, with subtle peppery undertones. A wine that’s pure pleasure to share this summer!

Very pleasant, and even better than the same wine from the "Entre-Deux-Mers" appellation.

An impressive aroma of passion fruit or mango, very fresh on the palate—I'm really pleased with it.

Review by Mr. BERNARD B. Published on June 30, 2013
I'm surprised that the label doesn't list any contact information for the winemaker—just an SCEA—and there's no mention of the grape variety or winemaking process. Maybe this was mentioned in your description, but I don't like buying wine without knowing its exact origin. That said, it's good value for the price.
