Domaine des Corbillières
Bright straw colour. A medium-bodied white with apple, peach and grapefruit flavours. The finish is subtle-layered. An overall good sauvignon blanc from france, lovely Touraine for the CAD$20 price.

Notes
A little bit bummy on first sniff, sour barnyard followed by round floral freshness. Cheese and pertroleum, but pleasing - hints at complexity despite the transparency. Much better when not too cold, really opens and deepens. Round, full but nicely acidic in mouth. I like this one very much, for the CAD$20 price it's a lovely Touraine.
