WINE DESCRIPTION
Francois Lurton Les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc Reserve is a single-varietal French Sauvignon Blanc crafted from up to forty selected parcels. Its name refers to the morning mists cooling the vineyards, imparting elegant, ripe fruit flavors. Hand-harvested in the early morning to preserve freshness, the grapes undergo cold, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on fine lees for added complexity and texture. With aromas of grapefruit, gooseberries, mandarin, cassis, lemon balm, grass, floral notes, and a hint of bell pepper, it is fresh, juicy, vibrant, and elegantly long-lasting on the palate. Perfect with fish, seafood, and salads.
