Pierre Jean Sauvignon Blanc 2015

95
Pierre Jean
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage: 2015
Country of Origin: France
Retail Price: $9.99

Tasting Notes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from France’s southwest and I.G.P. Cotes de Gascogne. It is classically French with lively aromas of wildflower, lemongrass, apple and pear with a nuance of flint. Delicious flavors of mandarin orange, peach, apple and pear lead to a crisp, long finish with racy acidity and more of that flinty terroir. This wine is an ideal aperitif or will complement most any light summer cuisine. It’s also an unbelievable value!
