Dourthe № 1 Sauvignon Blanc 20th Anniversary 2007

Bordeaux, FranceThere is something about sauvignon blanc from Bordeaux that is not only correct, but very drinkable too. Dourthe has done a good job with its Numero One for more than a decade even if it lives in obscurity under the white Bordeaux label. We love its restrained, lightly smoky, fruit flavours flecked with minerals, ripe grapefruit and just a dash of lees or oatmeal. Cool calm and sophisticated it is the perfect solo apéritif or serve with grilled chicken or fish dishes.Tasted: 13 May 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
