Calvet Prestige Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Cuvee Fumee review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

 

tesco

Describing itself as ‘fresh and oaky’ means you should expect a woody edge to the flavour thanks to its aging using oak. Because of this it might be better to treat this wine more like a red and decant it into a jug before drinking to allow the flavours to balance themselves out. The result is light elderflower and creamy apple flavours with some minerality and the woody damp pencil effect. Sophisticated.
