Pale, silverish lemon colour in the glass, the nose here is refined and zesty, with a focused lemon and fresh mint nose bolstered by a little riper fruit underneath. The fruit has a sheen on the palate but remains cool, mingling with green and citrus fruit notes and more of that minty, fennel seed character. Bright, intense and textural without heaviness, this is a subtle and long Sauvignon Blanc, which as always resembles fine Sancerre more than some of its neighbours.
