Presentation
Very Sauvignon, this wine of André Lurton at an affordable price, is an example of "everyday wine": succulent aromas of pear and tropical fruit, nervous and expressive on the palate, clean finish and well-defined . Intelligent, vibrant easy to drink yet.
The vintage
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with green, slightly silvery highlights.
Intense and complex, the nose is particularly pleasant, dominated by the character of a Sauvignon harvested at perfect ripeness. The notes of white nectarine, passion fruit and citrus blend harmoniously with the floral notes. The whole is successful.
The attack is round and unctuous. Accompanied by notes of citrus fruit and grapefruit, a lovely freshness balances the palate and leads to an interestingly long finish. This is a very pleasant, fresh wine.
