Country: France / Loire Valley
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Henri Bourgeois / Etienne Henri
Named after an ancestor who pioneered using oak barrels for maturing Sauvignon Blanc, the wine is, of course, wood aged. It is also ripe with yellow fruits, spice and vanilla. Apricot is cut with more tangy orange zest and finished with acidity. This is a concentrated wine that is just ready to drink.
