Dubard Coeur du Mont Sauvignon Blanc

Dubard Coeur du Mont

Labeled Vin du France but actually grown sustainably in France’s Sud-Ouest region, Dubard Coeur du Mont Sauvignon Blanc is a very light brass color. It shows an appealing, surprisingly complex aroma mix of ripe peaches, lemon and lime, and a whiff of green olive. Peach and citrus carry over in a fresh, mouth-watering flavor framed by food-friendly acidity and intriguing minerality.
