Tasting notes
The nose reveals notes of white peach, pear, lychee and citrus fruits followed by a herbal finish of peppermint and tarragon. The fresh palate offers delicious acidity that enables it to work beautifully with goats cheese and creamy shellfish dishes. This is a fairly pronounced Sauvignon blanc that packs great aromatic intensity, whilst retaining DBR Lafite’s classical touch of elegance.
