Seraph Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2009

• As concentrated as New Zealand Sauvignon but with an extra refreshing dimension. Refined and exuberant at the same time. We love it.
• Leaves Sancerre looking distinctly over-priced and slightly embarrassed. Kiwis blush on contact!
• This is from the family stocks of wine, their deepest, darkest limestone caves. We'll shout about it quietly.

We Say...

When rubber-stamping the new vintage of one of your all-time favourite whites, Seraph Sauvignon, Francois Chainier, the winemaker, happened to mention an exciting stash of top-drawer boutique Sauvignon he'd been holding back for someone else. But, as I got there first we got the wine! Made using the best grapes from the Chainier family estate this is a straight up, classy swipe at fine Pouilly Fume. Fine and minerally with intense fruit.

David

A good quality Sauvignon Blanc, but getting a bit bored with it after so many in the mixed cases.

Debbie

Fruity

Mark

favourite white this year

Sandra

Really enjoyed this fruity sauv

Mike

Really tasty white not too dry but very very crisp. Tastes like a £20 bottle and I can't stop buying!

Andrew

Pleasant but a little thin and uninspiring at the price.

Kevin

Quite simply one of the best French Sauvignon Blancs that I have ever tasted. Loverly intense fruit followed buy a wonderful minerally finish

The Wine Maker Says...

Name: Francois Chainier Country: France

Andrew was lucky to get away with this one. I actually had the wine in reserve for someone else! But he can be persuasive. I am delighted with the wine itself, although there's none left!
