Tony Aspler’s Weekly Wine Pick: François Lurton Sauvignon de Bordeaux
By Tony Aspler
This delicious wine is unlike any white Bordeaux I’ve tasted — it’s more like a cross between a Loire Valley Sancerre and a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Pale straw, almost water white in colour, it has an upfront bouquet of gooseberry and grapefruit. These flavours expand on the palate to passion fruit and guava, ending with a crisp lemony finish.
Food match: seafood, Caesar salad
$11.95. LCBO #250381
