Price £234.93 case of 12x75 cl As if tossed by a storm at sea, ripe tropical fruit and grapefruit blend with mineral notes and luscious vanilla from its elegant oak treatment, for a wine with great aromatic complexity. Exactly the same grapes as the unoaked Sauvignon, but fermented in 100% new Taransud oak given a heavy, sweet toast. Gently nutty, seed-cake notes, touches of honey and fig. The palate has real sweetness of fruit, layered with a little vanilla, even notes of cream. Some green bean too, with lots of punch and brightness. A certain waxiness to this, and a big burst of orangy acidity - even a touch of marmalade, and a warming hint of toast in the finish. 91/100 Aging potential: 5 years.
Serving suggestion: Ideal with all types of shellfish and fatty fish.
Temperature: 12 - 14 °C. .
