Les Gamins Malins Cuvée Prestige Sauvignon

2010 Cotes De Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc

Chateau Des Tourtes Les Gamins Malins Cuvée Prestige Sauvignon is a delightful expression of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal showcasing the exceptional qualities of the Côtes de Bordeaux region. This 2010 vintage greets the eye with a shimmering pale straw color that hints at its freshness and vibrancy. The wine presents a light-bodied profile, complemented by a high acidity that brings a bright and lively character, making it irresistibly refreshing. On the palate, expect pronounced fruit intensity, where flavors of citrus and green apple come to play, layered with subtle herbal notes and a touch of minerality that is characteristic of its terroir. This wine is bone dry, allowing the crispness of the fruit to shine through without any interference from sweetness, creating a harmonious balance that is perfect for pairing with seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif. With its well-structured qualities and inviting personality, this Sauvignon Blanc is a true testament to the region's winemaking prowess.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
