This white wine from a prestigious Bordeaux Left Bank winery is an exquisite blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit blend with white flowers and a hint of minerality, creating a delicate and profound flavor. On the palate, the creamy texture and refreshing acidity are balanced, with a subtle oak aroma lingering elegantly on the finish. It pairs well with a wide range of food, and truly shines with seafood, white fish, and light cheeses.

The refreshing minerality lingers on the finish, making this a superb white wine that leaves an impression of refined elegance.
