Two Stylish Sauvignon Blancs!
Lovers of Sauvignon Blanc will find plenty to enjoy in these cracking wines from one of our favourite growers in Bordeaux.
This lovely vineyard is situated in the gentle rolling hills of the pretty Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux, surrounded by copses of mature trees. Fabien Vincent has used his New Zealand experience to produce a couple of ultramodern juicy Sauvignon Blancs, with delicious gooseberry flavours which are enhanced by the judicious addition of Semillon and Sauvignon Gris, filling out the middle palate. These are thoroughly modern Sauvignons, which leap out of the glass and matches many New Zealand wines, costing much more.
Both wines deliver much more quality than their prices suggest. Some other importers in the UK have caught up with us and discovered Lamothe-Vincent, but not surprisingly they have recognised this and these wines will cost you much more from other sources! We have put together a mixed case of six bottles each of these two delicious wines - Château Lamothe-Vincent Sauvignon Blanc 2007 £5.25 AC Bordeaux sec This is now made from 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon. The carefully controlled cold fermentation results in wonderful leafy, gooseberry aromas, it is full of gooseberry and peach fruit on the palate with crisp, apple, minerally acidity, and a long aromatic finish. Perfect everyday summer drinking! |
