CHEVALIER DE LA FONTAINE

Chevalier de la Fontaine

AOC Bordeaux White

Tasting

The charm of this wine lies in its pale gold colour with slightly green reflections, as well as in its exotic fruit aromas. The characteristic nose of Sauvignon and Semillon harvested at good maturity. The palate is not to be outdone, fruity and acidulous, brightened with persistent fruit notes and a minerality that gives this wine a very pleasant freshness.

Food Pairing

Serve with fish, seafood, poultry or white meat.
