2012 Calvet Sauvignon Blanc Limited Release

100% Sauvignon Blanc from various terroirs in the Entre-Deux-Mers – selected for high aromatic complexity and planted on clay and chalky hills. Fruit was gently handled and the must cold-settled and racked before being fermented at 15-17°C under inert gas in order to preserve the aromatics. Matured in stainless-steel tanks on fine lees with stirring. TA 6.12 g/l, pH 3.42, RS 1.6 g/l. Very pale. Very beguiling fragrant, floral Sauvignon nose (pretty ordinary packaging). Relatively simple but exuberant and GV for early drinking. (JR)
