France

In Burgundy, Chardonnay is king. However, way up north is the small region of Saint-Bris where Sauvignon Blanc reigns supreme. Closest in character to Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, these wines have a steely, mineral edge to them, and that classic burnt matchstick quality only seen in the best white Burgundies. With a core of pure pear and lychee fruit, there's just a touch of the varietal’s trademark grassiness and ends with a brisk, mineral-laden finish. A wine for lovers of Sauvignon Blanc and all other white wines alike. MINERAL UNIQUE BRISK GREEN ENERGETIC

With a crisp, dry wine like this Saint-Bris, the last thing you want to do is overpower the wine. Raw seafood is a natural match. Try scallop crudo or salmon tartare. Additionally, lighter proteins like poached white fish with herb butter or sautéed white asparagus with béarnaise will also be lovely.
