| Sauvignon
Blanc
from Languedoc and Rousillon develops an exotic and interested character.
Unlike its northern counterparts, melon and citrus fruits emerge
to make a formidable wine!
About
the Producer: Pierre Olivier was the eldest
son of a family whose vineyards had long been established in Burgundy.
Early in his career, he became the cellar master for an important
negociant in Burgundy. During this time, Pierre began to collect
his own stock of premier Crus and unique village
wines. These wines were hidden during and survived World War
II. At the conclusion of the war, Pierre began to sell these
wines to customers and further established his reputation as having
an excellent nose and palate for the selection of outstanding wines.
This tradition, as reflected by the worldwide recognition these
wines routinely receive, the passion for viticulture and winemaking
continues undiminished in the current generation.
