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. 

Cepage: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes:    Impressive ripeness and depth, this wine develops with delightful, citrusy fruitiness.  Long and expressive in the mouth, a simple wine with great structure and fabulous finish.

Food Pairing:  A versatile wine that matches well with vegetables, hard cheeses, fowl and fish.
