Crustacés means shellfish — a clear indication of what she paired with this crisp white wine. A blend of Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc; there is apple, citrus, melon and mineral. Chill well and drink up.
Very pale. Fresh nose, grassy, citrus notes. Light body, acidic and therefore very refreshing; it's like biting into a grapefruit. Drink up.
A straight-up, easy-drinking, entry-level Bordeaux blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon. Nectarine, pear, white flowers, citrus, gooseberry, honey and passion fruit are all in play. Chill well and serve with a cheese platter or chilled shellfish.
Clear medium-deep yellow. Fairly intense nose of gooseberry, grass and a hint of honey from the Sémillon grapes. Lots of body for a white wine and high acidity, but one could wish the lemon, gooseberry and pineapple flavours were a bit denser. Drink up.
Lovely lees-led, stony, fresh and shining, this sauvignon blanc is a blend of three terroirs in the Gard, the Aude and Hérault. Reductive, stainless winemaking aims to keep the tight pear, yellow apple, lemon and honey blossom bright, while a short stint on the lees lends a welcome slip of cushion. Lovely stony minerality throughout to a lick of medicinal herbs on the humming finish. Likeable, easy and fantastic value.
Pale straw in colour with a smoky nose of struck flint, oak spice and green pineapple; medium- to full-bodied, dry, elegant and well-balanced with a surprisingly long finish.
A blend of Chardonnay and Aligoté. Pale straw in colour with spicy nose of apple; medium-bodied, dry and crisp with crabapple and green pear flavours ending on lemony acidity. A versatile food wine.
