Fleur de Savagnin 2011(Ouillé)
Dominant character on the nose is floral, white flowers, mineral lemon, very light notes of white peach & almond.
Palate is bone dry with zesty grapefruit and stone/saline drying character, saps at the palate from the off but has a mineral weight with high acidity. (V good food match - cheese & escargot) — 11 years ago
