Description

Un climat chaud inhabituel, suivi d’un printemps long et frais, a donné naissance à un millésime marqué par un fruité intense et une belle acidité. Il se présente comme un Chardonnay crémeux, riche en saveurs de toasts grillés, de pamplemousse et de beurre. Doté d’une belle texture en bouche, il parcourt très facilement le palais et prolonge les sensations de la dégustation.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc may not go down as an all-time classic Cloudy Bay, but in a difficult vintage, the wine has turned out excellent. Hints of snow pea pods accent tropical fruit notes in a wine that is soft, round and harmonious, showing ample concentration and length despite the rain-plagued harvest. Unlike the 2005, a freakish vintage that continues to drink well, I'd opt for drinking the 2017 over the next year or two.

James Suckling:

Attractive, fresh, pear, peach and praline aromas lead to a palate that has a succulent and attractively juicy feel ,as well as a fresh line of acidity that holds the finish in tight. Drink now. Screw cap.
