Grape Variety

Sauvignon Blanc

Producer

Vignobles Darriet

An intensely flamboyant Bordeaux Sauvignon with cassis, boxtree and passionfruit aromas at the fore. It is almost New Zealand in style, medium bodied with sour lime and passion fruit flavours. Sauvignon Blanc grapes were left to macerate for up to 18 hours to maximize aroma extraction from the skins before gentle pressing and fermentation. Petite Marine is named in recognition of the family’s passion for the sea. Guy Darriet, Sandrine and Jean-Christophe’s father, was a Commandant (Commander) in the French Navy and would take them sailing as children.
