"Different vintage, different style! While the 2022 displays a zesty and tonic structure, the 2023 is graced with lovely notes of candied citrus, ripe red tomato, and a hint of white peach. The palate is mouth-watering, supple, and indulgent. This year, domaine de Rome has crafted a truly delicious Sauvignon Blanc, perfectly balanced with a beautiful aromatic persistence; 75 cl of pure bliss that I highly recommend!"
