Lionel Osmin & Cie Sauvignon Blanc Villa Cote d'Argent

Notes from the Tast­ing Curator

The wine has a fla­vor crys­talline in its sharp­ness, round­ed out with a hint of saf­fron and cream at the end. On the nose, it brings out an earthy and min­er­al notes. It is bal­anced in fla­vor and gives off a smooth clean taste up to the very last drop.

Pair­ings

The Lionel Osmin & Cie La Reserve Sauvi­g­nom Blanc is a won­der­ful pair­ing part­ner with herb-dri­ven sauces, white meat like chick­en and turkey, seafood such as mus­sels, crab, lob­ster, sole, cod and sea bass. There is also one clas­sic Sauvi­gnon Blanc pair­ing that orig­i­nat­ed in Loire Val­ley, France. A bit of the Loire Val­ley famed Crot­tin de Chav­i­g­nol with a splash of Sauvi­gnon Blanc is con­sid­ered a clas­sic per­fect pair. If you’re more into the veg­e­tar­i­an fare, dish­es such as hum­mus, zuc­chi­ni lasagna and cucum­ber yogurt sal­ad goes well with this drink as well. 

Hon­esty in the Craft

One of Lionel Osmin’s aims is to pro­mote the grape vari­etals in their most hon­est form. This is why the wine­mak­ers allow them­selves to take part in each step of the wine aging, giv­ing metic­u­lous time towards how they look after their prod­ucts— from the moment the grapes are har­vest­ed up until they are served in the bot­tles we can now enjoy. 

This hon­esty in their craft has paid off, espe­cial­ly giv­en that they have received inter­na­tion­al recog­ni­tion for the La Reserve Sauvi­gnon Blanc. This white has bagged Gold at the Hong Kong Grand Tast­ing Wine Awards of Bet­tane & Desseauve 2018.
