Bettane & Desseauve
"Tasted before bottling, this playful Sauvignon offered freshness and frank juice." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane et Desseauve) The nose expresses heady flowers, pastry, verbena, then with aeration reveals a rich, solar profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fluid and acidic, with yellow and white fruits and a saline finish accented by citrus zest.
