Château Malartic-Lagravière

Grand Cru Classés de Graves Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2009

A £52 white Graves that's a lovely drop that should improve 👍 Loaded with rich minerals 💥 maybe too much 🤔

🍇 80% Sauvignon & 20% Semillon

🍷 Golden yellow

👃 Soft lemon, lime & honey w/ smashed minerals, gravel, cracked vanilla pods & hints of yellow banana & unripe pear

👄 Med+ body of creamy young green apples, pear & citrus fruits buried in mineral rocks w/ herby grass tone

🎯 Long mineral driven unripe green & citrus fruits w/ green herbs - at one with nature - descale your teeth after this 😁

Silex Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Poweful nose of grass and grapefruit. Opened quickly with similar very pure flavors in the mouth . The finish was not as explosive as I have experienced in other vintages but that might be due to youth.

Probably my least favorite experience with this wine and it was still spectacular. More Sauvignon Blancy than I've previously experienced with this wine but the depth and length are incredible. Heavy on the grass and lemon pith with a flintiness lingering in the background.

Blanc Fumé de Pouilly Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Very pale yellow, almost devoid of color. The nose is bright and alive with ripe honeydew melon, green fig, citrus zest, alfalfa sprouts, and fresh grapefruit juice. Gorgeous flavors come in waves; tangerine, citrus oils, lime, lemon zest, lemongrass, cara cara orange, white grapefruit. The acidity is literally laser focused, like the edge of a perfectly sharpened chef's knife. Minerality comes towards the end; clean, white river stones, granite. Hints of wheat grass and radish mix with wet stones on the long lingering finish. This will get even better over the next 5 years. One of the last wines from the true Jedi Master of Sauvignon Blanc. — 10 years ago

2008, Francois Cotat, Les Monts Damnes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. Brought this one back from France in 2011. Has aged well, no signs of oxidation and is still vibrant with lots of citrus. Screaming acidity, med alcohol and a long finish. Lots of grapefruit, lemon zest with a little orange blossom, white pepper and fresh cut grass. A little minerality on the finish. Need to find a 2011.

Bevan Cellars

Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016

What a wine.. 😁 there's just nothing like unfiltered, unfined, and unhinged Sauvignon Blanc. It's like my love for German Hefeweizen - hazy, but all of the flavor that Bevan would just lose if he wanted a star bright wine.. looks aren't everything. All the main indicators of SB, and much more - lemon grass, grapefruit reduction, unpasteurized clover honey, white peppercorn, vanilla, Meyer lemon, and white pear. Juicy acidity, intense and inviting florals, and fun to look at in the glass. 2016 is a great year for Bevan SB. — 9 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Super bright, clear wine, lighter bodied. Wonderful melon, lemongrass, passion fruit and white pepper nose. Green melon, passion fruit, peach, ginger and some herb notes I'm struggling to identify beyond the lemon grass, maybe tomato leaf? Passion fruit comes through nicely on the finish. Really pleased with this one! — 9 years ago

At opening, a room filling aroma of fresh cut grass. Clear pale yellow. full palate of citrus, 💐, honeysuckle and herbs. Good minerality. long finish. A bit of RS? Overall a lovely effort. SB for those who dismiss this varietal.

Château la Dame Blanche

BVordeaux Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Sweet to start and tart at the finish. Mainly tastes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and grass. Soft, rounded texture. There's more complexity and bigger flavor if you let it sit out a bit, but not too long because then it loses the crisp finish. #vinebox — 10 years ago
