SAUVIGNON DE BORDEAUX 2008, J&F LURTON

With the Lurton family spreading out across the world and making excellent wines in so many countries, it's good to remind ourselves that they retain a foothold in their homeland, and in the traditional region of Bordeaux at that. This is a classic white Bordeaux, being dry, crisp and refreshing in equal measure.

Jacques & François Lurton turn out consistently reliable wines from across France for everyday drinking. And you can’t say fairer than that. The wines are all in the modern, easy-going, fruity mould and represent great value for such consistently good drinking.
