Château du Seuil Organic, Graves Blanc
A blend of 60% Sémillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc with part of the Sémillon portion fermented in new French oak barriques, lees-stirring is employed before being reincorporated into the blend. A wine with great depth and ageing potential in the classic mould of a top Graves yet exhibiting a modern feel, bouquet of honey and citrus fruits, floral aromas from the vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, with a classic Graves minerality on the palate. 'Elegant, citrus dominated style with perfect weight. A subtle smokiness is the only clue that this wine actually saw quite a bit of oak, but it's beautifully done.' 90/100, Tim Atkin writing in Decanter 2014.

About the Wine

Sauvignon has boomed in recent years. Its crisp acidity makes it a popular choice as an aperitif or with food. It's an aromatic variety, enjoyed when young, and mostly un-oaked. Produced in a variety of methods in the Old and New World resulting in a light and minerally style to more tropical flavours.

The Country
France
Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
