Product Information
This wine, emblematic of Henri Bourgeois' expertise and passion, is anything but "petit" in its character. It stands as the aromatic and seductive outcome of a meticulous and demanding selection process. Remarkably aromatic, this Sauvignon Blanc presents a subtle and floral nose, a fresh and juicy palate reminiscent of pomelo and white fig, and a slight bitterness in the finish that whets the appetite.
Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week
