What reviewers say
“Lots of pineapple (good thing). Refreshing. Enjoyable. Thirst-quenching. Not as nice as that pint of pineapple cider I had almost 2 years ago in Dallas, but it probably is the best bottle of French Sauvignon white I’ve ever had.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A very pretty and intense nose of exotic and citrus fruits. A frank and lively attack. In the mouth, the wine is pleasing with lemony notes and a lingering finish.
Uby No. 3 Colombard - Sauvignon is a white from Côtes de Gascogne, France, blended from Ugni Blanc and Colombard.
The calibrated figure is built from 2,989 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 3,200 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 686 other whites from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Uby No. 3 Colombard - Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Frankreich (687 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,989.
