Description

Grapes: 95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon
Region: Bordeaux, France
Notes: A chalky breeze of refreshing melon, citrus-y goodness, zesty liveliness, and clean crisp-ness with good minerality.
Winemaker Jean Marc Barthez shows us his wine skills with this Sauvignon Blanc that is fermented without oak to preserve the underlying expression of classic Bordeaux terroir! The archetypal “dirt-under-the-fingernails” Barthez, serves as the president of a small co-operative winery in Monségur, an ancient village founded by Eleanor of Aquitaine in the 13^th century. There, he oversees a handful of growers who cultivate small family vineyards and join forces to produce Bordeaux wines that their friends and neighbors can actually afford. From the Mary Taylor Collection!
