Tasting - Le Jade Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Name: Le Jade Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Languedoc
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $10 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $5.95)

Winery Review: "Silvery straw color. Lively aromas and flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, melon, and Meyer lemon with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish with notes of lemongrass, pear, and lemon with no tannins and no oak. Bright and crisp with layers of juicy pineapple, pear, lemongrass and ripe melon make this perfect for repeated sipping or enhancing fresh farm to table cookery."

My Review: This wine had a nice bouquet. It smelled like flowers, apricots, and melon. It tasted slightly sour, but not in a negative way. The taste had floral hints and pineapple. Overall, the taste was mediocre and not as intricate as the winery review makes it sound. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
