Experiencing Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey in Sauternes

Because most of the vines are Semillon, Eric also uses several different clones to create complexity in the finished wines.

Sauvignon Blanc - a Mini Blind Tasting

Each taster noted their top three favorites, in order, and we added up the scores to pick a winner (first place vote=3 pts; second place vote=2 pts; third place vote=1 pt). Strangely, I was not one of the 5 people who picked it as their favorite. Like the Cheverny, Bordeaux blanc wines tend to be blended, in this case with Semillon. MORE >>
