New wine tasting - Cuvee Florence

So as you know my recent trip to France has made me rethink French wine, so I hot footed it to the Wanstead Majestic and got a couple of whites and four reds from the region we visited (and a bit further afield).

The Symbiose Piquepol Sauvignon Blanc 'Cuvee Florence' 2014 is from the Cotes de Thau area (East of Beziers). Being a fan of both grapes I was really interested to try this. For the price £6.74 (on offer) I thought it was a really nice drop.

Crisp, flinty, minerally and refreshing the tropical nature of the Sauvignon did slightly overpower the Piquepol, but I thought it was very pleasant. I drank it with a fish dish, but it would be equally nice to drink by itself and try and reminisce about lazy summer days, or in our case, the wettest August on record!
