Echappée Bel Blanc //​ Château de Bel

Dry, very aromatic, mineral, floral, tropical with buttery flavours. Echappée - meaning an 'escape', or in cycling a 'breakaway' - is Olivier's multi-vintage blend, a mixture of Muscadelle (usually only found in tiny proportions, particularly sweet wines like Sauternes) and Sauvignon Blanc.
