N°1 by Dourthe - Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc

Description

For N°1 White, the desire to create a great, aromatic wine whose palate is founded on a solid structure made Sauvignon Blanc an obvious choice. In the vineyard, a rigorous selection of parcels takes place to identify the best possible terroir and grape varieties. From tending the vine all the way through to the harvest, the growers work in close  collaboration with the Dourthe winemakers. Maceration on the skins and low temperature fermentation combine to release all the best Sauvignon Blanc aromas and provide the wine with structure and length. Maturation on fine lees for 6 months then perfects the balance of the wine and optimises the finesse and intensity of the aromas.

Tasting Notes

100% Sauvignon blanc, N°1 2021 exudes appealing citrus fruit aromas of lemon and grapefruit, topped off with a mineral note. Initially direct on the palate, the wine reveals the typical poise of Sauvignon on limestone, which balances with exquisite, lingering and fruity aromatic richness. A fresh, well-balanced wine, culminating in a long, elegant, aroma-rich finish.
