About This Wine
A rare, fully mature release from Terre à Terre, showing the remarkable longevity of Sauvignon Blanc from the Crayères Vineyard. Twelve years on, it is still vibrant, complex, and poised for further aging.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic layers of ginger root, white chocolate, cream cheese, cold buttered toast, scratched yuzu, orange marmalade, clove, and white pepper. The palate mirrors the nose with sustained fruit presence and a rich, savory undertone. Balanced acidity supports a long, textured finish.
