Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2019 guide) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
The highly expressive nose seduces with its fruity exuberance (mango, lemon, grapefruit), brightened by a delicate aniseed freshness. The palate, in perfect harmony, is concentrated, complex and fresh, with a long, saline finish.
About the domain :
Based in Humbligny, young winemakers David Girard (established in 2003) and his brother Luc (2011) manage a 7-hectare vineyard that is currently undergoing development: new plantings, a new winery for vinification and ageing, and the creation of a reception cellar.

Out of 2 bottles, one was tasteless and the other incredibly corky - very disappointed.

A magnificent Sauvignon with great balance and length. Between the bite of a Sancerre and the finesse of a Pouilly Fumé...a wonderful discovery.
