La Désirée

Tenu par une fine acidité, ce blanc se révèle plutôt nerveux, avec des touches d'agrumes qui ajoutent à son dynamisme. Un bon classique à privilégier à l'apéritif, sur de la truite fumée ou des sushi, ou bien avec des fromages de chèvre.

An absolute scythe of acidity and grassiness. You can almost hear it whistling through the air before it sweeps a clean, gleaming green slice through a thousand blades of grass. Even the sap seems to sting with the cut. Lime on lime. Strictly for acid freaks, but if you're an acid freak this will make your spine tingle. Brilliant wine to pair with ceviche!

It opens with a clean, fresh and lightly musky nose, which is followed by a zippy palate, all green apple and lime juice, with plenty of punchy acidity giving it a sense of vigour. It is certainly a wine which represents the vintage – with its acid lime and green apple – nevertheless it is delightfully vigorous, low in alcohol with just 11%.
