La Fleur du Roi Bordeaux Blanc 2017 Bottle:1 with aromas of rose petalsThis is a delicious, dry Sauvignon Blanc, with lots of citrus, stone fruit and nettle notes along with excellent flesh, length and complexity. Pale yellow with green tints. On the nose there's lime, pear, grassy notes and an earthy minerality. Moderate body with crisp acidity, green apple skin, pineapple, under ripe green melon and a streak of minerality on the end. Overall a nice white Bordeaux that won't hurt your wallet.
