O. Fournier Centauri Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe 2010 Centauri sauvignon is a blend of cane pruned clones 107 and 108 fermented in stainless steel. A small amount (15 per cent) is fermented in French oak to add texture and weight. O. Fournier wants more texture than aroma in his sauvignon and less alcohol when possible. The wines are cork finished but the style and flavours remain crisp and clean. Look for dense rich texture, sweet fruit harvested early to retain its nervousness lined with citrus, tangerine and creamy lees. Sensational style for the price with just enough complexity to think you may have underpaid.
