Louis Eschenauer Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc 75cl. 2021
Pour this cold and the whole glass smells like a squeeze of fresh citrus. It's a dry white Bordeaux that keeps things bright and zippy, lemon and grapefruit doing the talking, nothing heavy or sweet getting in the way. Perfect for a warm Nairobi evening with something off the grill, or just as the first cold glass after a long day. Easy yes, but with real Bordeaux pedigree behind it.
The nose is all white orchard fruit and citrus, clean and inviting. Take a sip and it's properly dry, so no sweetness, just bright lemon and pink grapefruit with a fresh, snappy finish that leaves your mouth tingling for the next one. It's full enough to feel satisfying but stays light on its feet, well-balanced the whole way through. Think of it as the wine equivalent of a cold towel on a hot day.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Louis Eschenauer is one of Bordeaux's old guard. The man himself rocked up from Alsace back in 1821 and set up as a wine merchant, and the house has been a fixture of the Bordeaux trade ever since, eventually picking up its own estates across the Médoc and Graves. Today the wines reach more than 90 countries. This Sauvignon Blanc is their bright, citrussy take on classic dry white Bordeaux, made from ripe-picked grapes and a cool fermentation that locks in all that freshness.
