elegant style on the palate

All three of these vineyards are within a 5 minute walk of each other

perfectly harmonious flavors are astonishingly rich yet finely detailed

even with the superior size and weight this is still not an especially big wine by the typical standards of the appellation but this acquits itself credibly all the same

A more elegant and exuberantly fresh nose combines notes of cherry and dark currant with those of plum

Alexandre Bain, Pierre Precieuse other_regions_australia elegant style on the palateSauvignon Blanc from the Central Loire. Aged for 38 months 18 months in barrel, 20 months in stainless steel tanks. No btonnage. Certainly not fresh and simple! But it's very experimental Vin de France. A bit mealy, with real grip on the palate. Id love to know more about this unusual wine that's a bit like essence of stones. (JR)
