Dourthe No 1 Sauvignon Blanc

Dourthe has been family-owned, since 1840, representing 500 hectares of vineyards.  Number 1 Blanc is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, whose rich, aromatic character is backed by great structure. Dourthe selects grapes from diverse terroirs at their various chateaux located throughout the appellation. The wine is aged on the fine lees, with batonnage, for 6 months, which strengthens the harmony of the wine and adds depth and longevity on the palate. Fresh and aromatic on the nose, combines appealing citrus fruit aromas of lemon and grapefruit, with an elegant mineral hint. Direct from the outset, the wine develops into a rich, fresh and lively palate culminating in an harmonious fruity finish, characterized by the well-balanced liveliness and minerality of Sauvignon Blanc on limestone soil.
