Tasting Note

This item is now sold outChateau La Maroutine which has been around since 1789 produces wine from its own grapes which are planted in stony ... (more...)soils that give the wine a distinctive mineral character. The wine is utterly charming with bright and fresh notes of minerals herbs and citrus fruit on the nose and palate as well as a hint of green apple on the surprisingly long finish.When the wine is first poured the mineral character is pronounced but as it airs the fruit becomes more assertive. If you are a fan of the wines from Sancerre in the Loire Valley (Sancerre is all sauvignon blanc) you really will enjoy this wine. It is made from 80 percent sauvignon blanc and 20 percent semillon. Try it with raw oysters or dishes made with goat’s cheese.This item is now sold out
