Kevin's comments: A blend of 40% Sauvignon, 40% Semillon with 20% Muscadelle giving quite a rich style but with clean and fresh fruit flavours.
CHÂTEAU NICOT AC ENTRE-DEUX-MERS
Based in Escoussans, in the heart of Haut Benauge, the Dubourg family owns the vineyard of Château Nicot. Situated a little less than 22 miles south of Bordeaux, on the right bank of the River Garonne, this domaine has enjoyed an enviable reputation for over two hundred years.
