2009 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, 12-bottle case
Here's what the winemakers have got to say about their 2009 Sauvignon Blanc. "Generosity is the defining word for the 2009 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Its aromatics encapsulate a broad spectrum of varietal flavours; tropical fragrances of guava and mango to ripe lime/ citrus and sweet herbs. The palate also is juicy and voluminous, combining concentrated flavours with a mineral acidity that leaves a long, fresh, intense finish".

Château Le Chec Blanc, Bordeaux
Aromas of vanilla oak, fresh limes and greengages, terrific with white wine-braised pork sausages, from this classic Graves estate. Christian Auney's pride in his estate's terroir is such that he's liable to scoop up a handful of rugged gravel and declare "Voila, le vrai Graves". 80-year-old vines and rigorously low yields result in concentrated flavours and consistent quality. Christian uses Sémillon for richness and a little Muscadelle to liven the final wine.
