2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"Clear, bright, and slightly golden, the color of this blend of half Sauvignon Gris and half Sémillon is particularly refined. The nose is equally impressive, with powerful yet delicate aromas of white fruits (pear) and ripe exotic fruits. These aromas are equally intense on the palate, which is round and smooth, well balanced by a subtle freshness on the finish. A harmonious wine from start to finish."
