Another outstanding Sauvignon Blanc from O.Fournier, produced from Uco Valley grown grapes and fermented in stainless steel. The source is the same as for the Urban Sauvignon Blanc cuvée, but the grapes are cold macerated in the press and aged in contact with their lees using bâtonnage. There is a racy freshness about the nose with fresh lime, crisp gooseberry and flinty minerality. Whilst the palate starts fresh there is some sweet tropical fruit and fleshy grapefruit in the middle and fruit that lingers on the finish.

string(567) "Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Marlborough, Darling, Margaret River… Villages and regions which all have one thing in common; their own individual take on Sauvignon Blanc. The variety has classic zingy freshness, citrus notes and in the case of Marlborough in particular, gooseberry aromatics and flavours. Very pure, it can often be opulent yet also the opposite, with taut mineral notes. A classic, modern varietal with huge popularity, usually unoaked, there are an increasing number of food-focused expressions with a little barrel maturation adding texture and lift."
