Chateau Sainte-Marie Vieilles Vignes Entre-deux-Mers 2018 Review
This wine is a Sauvignon Blanc dominate blend but it only plays a supporting role. The aromas we associate with Savvy B (bell pepper, gooseberries) are way in the background as the semillon and muscadelle take center stage, creating earthiness. What I am saying is this wine reminds me more of a Chardonnay from southern Burgundy (Macon) but with frothy, well rounded acidity, and notes of white flowers and lemon-mint yogurt. It is such a pleasure to drink and is only $15.
