Can a fine Bordeaux wine producer do inexpensive white wine? ...

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Very pale straw in color; herbal, citrus, green grass, and gooseberry aromas; dry, fresh citrus, herbs, light body with a bright, fresh medium finish. Serving Suggestion: Serve with summer salads or sip on its own.” And now for my review.

Yvon Mau Bordeaux Cellars in tasting cheap wine
At the first sips this wine was grassy with harsh acidity. It was quite long. The initial meal started with chopped mushrooms in puff pastry. The wine responded with a touch of sweetness; its acidity was rather tamed. Then came a barbecued chicken breast prepared with oriental spices. The wine’s acidity made up for the unexpected dryness of the meat. The Sauvignon Blanc was metallic and I tasted citrus. When it encountered the side dish of potatoes roasted in chicken fat this wine responded with refreshing acidity and caramel. Canned palm hearts sweetened the wine and I tasted honeysuckle. The biscotti dessert took away the wine’s fruit.
