De Ladoucette BARON de L Pouilly-Fume

One of the classic vintages for the Loire, with the Sauvignon Blanc reaching the optimum ripeness which often proves so much of a problem. Baron de L is a vibrant, golden-green colour which reflects the ripeness of the year. On the nose it is a harmonious blend of strength and freshness with orange peel, grapefruit, beeswax and floral hints. On the palate the fruit is full and elegant showing a mineral complexity combined with herbaceous fruit and zesty acidity. The length is extraordinary and makes Baron de L one of the finest expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. (6 x 75 cl)
