Burghound
An appellation we love! An intense, complex wine on the nose, developing notes of exotic fruits (pineapple, mango), peach and sage. The palate is full-bodied, with good mineral length and a fresh finish. This superb white wine will delight your taste buds and go perfectly with bouillabaisse or blue fish (swordfish), as well as goat's cheese such as crottin de Chavignol.
