Winemaker Notes

Attractive pale yellow color with green highlights. Good concentration with hints of white flowers, as well as tropical fruit and grapefruit. A Sauvignon Blanc showing some varietal character and an subtle aftertaste. On the palate, this wine starts out smooth and elegant, with notes of fresh citrus and gooseberry. There are also floral overtones such as acacia blossom. The acidity is well-integrated and in balance. There is a beautiful long finish. Blend: 52% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Sémillon, 15% Muscadelle.

This wine is enjoyable with friends as an aperitif, or with all sorts of fish and seafood dishes.

Sometimes light and crisp, other times rich and creamy, Bordeaux White Blends typically consist of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Often, a small amount of Muscadelle or Sauvignon Gris is included for added intrigue. Popularized in Bordeaux, the blend is often mimicked throughout the New World. Somm Secret—Sauternes and Barsac are usually reserved for dessert, but they can be served before, during or after a meal. Try these sweet wines as an aperitif with jamón ibérico, oysters with a spicy mignonette or during dinner alongside hearty Alsatian sausage.

Extending over verdant slopes between the Rivers Dordogne and Garonne, the Entre-Deux-Mers region (“between two seas”) offers great value and a splendid introduction to the dry reds and whites of Bordeaux. Merlot and Cabernet comprise most of the reds; Sauvignon blanc and Semillon are responsible for the whites, all of which are best enjoyed in their youth.
