Bettane & Desseauve

(2015 Vintage Notes)

This Touraine Sauvignon Blanc certainly lives up to its name: aromas of citrus and white fruits rise harmoniously from the glass. On the palate, its lovely liveliness and a touch of acidity lend this wine a wonderful freshness. Simple and delicious, this white wine will be a perfect accompaniment to your seafood platters!
