"Le Champ-Pendu is a unique Sauvignon. Remarkably fresh, it surprises with flavors of mirabelle plum, white grapefruit, and greengage, with a subtle hint of almond leaning toward frangipane. The palate is perfectly balanced, featuring a beautiful mineral tension and a lingering fruitiness. Absolutely lovely!"
