Hachette

“The Colombard (70%) brings a refreshing aromatic intensity to a blend that includes Sauvignon. No boxwood—rather, thyme, flowers, and then, after aeration, white peach and pineapple. All these alluring notes come together in a full-bodied palate, balanced by a zesty citrus liveliness. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018) A white wine that’s pure pleasure!
