Gilbert & Gaillard

Mes Vendanges Bio Sauvignon Blanc

A light gold sauvy b for the savvy set, playful and carefree. Crystalline aromas of white flowers and wet-stones flowing into a fuller bodied expression of citrus and tropical fruit. It’s the pleasure principle at work. Pairs beautifully with lobster, crab, mussels, and clams and of course rich buttery cheeses like muenster and gouda or fresher whipped goat cheeses.

ABV:  13.5%

Vineyard & Vine Age: This wine comes from organic estate vineyards at 150-200 meters with the red iron rich limestone soils of this Eocene epoch scree.
