Cheval Noir - Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Tasting notes
A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux with concentrated aromas of citrus and subtle green apple, lemon, and grass on the nose with hints of tropical fruit and grapefruit. Medium body, crisp and perfectly balanced. Smooth and elegant, very long with a lovely finish.
Description
A blend of wines from various partner winegrowers, Cheval Noir Bordeaux Blanc reflects the skill of our oenologists. A major effort has been undertaken in Bordeaux to identify those terroirs most propitious to ripening Sauvignon Blanc, the main variety in Cheval Noir Bordeaux Blanc. The other variety, Sémillon, adds roundness to the wine.
The grapes are picked early to retain their fresh fruitiness. The wine is specially made to express Sauvignon Blanc’s rich aromas. Skin contact and cold fermentation maximize the extraction of aromas and aroma precursors. Ageing on the less with regular stirring gives balance, finesse, structure, and length, while concentrating aromas.
