35 tasters including Jancis Robinson MW, Patrick Smith and Robert Joseph did a blind tasting in June this year. The tasting comprised top-end Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand, California, Chile, Australia, Italy, South Africa and Bordeaux. When the scores were tallied up: numbers 1, 3 and 5 were from Bordeaux; number 4 was Huia Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough NZ and number 2 was from South Africa.
This confirms a little secret we have known for quite a while…and we went out to find the best Sauv Blancs in Bordeaux at fantastic prices.
