The sunny 2020 vintage brings a denser, more ample ripeness, and the extended aging (two years in vats followed by one year in bottle) refines the wine without smoothing it out. The result is a ripe, harmonious wine, infused with delicate spices, a touch of anise, and elegant bitterness that lengthens the finish. This is a white wine of depth, crafted for the table rather than for immediate impact. Pair it with grilled fish to fully appreciate its minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 📍Appellation: Vin de France\u003cbr\u003e 🍇Grape varieties: Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e 📆Vintage: 2020\u003cbr\u003e Alcohol content: 13%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Allergens: Contains sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caroline Bain","offers":[{"title":"A Bottle","offer_id":56517600313719,"sku":"CBAINCOVA20","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/6947\/2019\/files\/81b3478d73efab29daac2df5f565fdaa.png?v=1768214458"},{"product_id":"coeur-vaillant-2022-caroline-bain","title":"Coeur Vaillant 2022 - Caroline Bain","description":"\u003cp data-oe-version=\"1.2\"\u003e👨🏼‍🌾White Wine made by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mareehaute.vin\/collections\/caroline-bain\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaroline Bain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With Cœur Vaillant, Caroline Bain offers a more composed and profound interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc.
