2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"Clear, bright, and slightly golden, the color of this blend—half Sauvignon Gris and half Sémillon—is particularly refined. The nose is equally impressive, with powerful yet delicate aromas of white fruit (pear) and ripe tropical fruit. These aromas, just as intense, are found on the palate, which is round and smooth, well-balanced by a subtle freshness on the finish. A harmonious wine from start to finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)
