Sauvignon de Touraine 2009, l’Ambroisie

Buy now

It's vibrant, packed to the gunalls with tangy, gooseberry fruit with delicious creaminess and plenty of that wonderful minerality we loved when we first tasted it. We think this will just keep getting better. A truly terrific, old world Sauvignon with plenty of character.
