Our Wines 

 


Description Dry white

Blend : 90% Sauvignon Gris and 10% Semillon

Bright straw colour, good presentation. 
Bouquet of Sauvignon enhanced by the roundness of the Semillon.

Palate : the richness and the softness of the Semillon harmonises with the rigour sometimes excessive of the Sauvignon. 

The suppleness allows it to be consumed with dishes such as : fish, sea-food or poultry. It tastes really good with fried rice , even with fish and chips without the vinegar on the chips.

Dont' hesitate to chill it !
