Sauvignon Blanc these days usually tends towards one of two poles. It's either racy, crisp, and a bit underripe like the wines of Sancerre, or it's lush and expressive, à la the wines of New Zealand. While this wine comes from around the birthplace of the grape, near Bordeaux, it certainly showcases more of this New Zealand style, with bright green gooseberries on the nose and a bit of passionfruit. The palate is brisk and lovable, with mineral and vintage notes of freshly-cut grass. FULL-FRUITED GRASSY MINERAL CLASSY BRIGHT
The ripeness of this wine means it can stand up well to some fuller-flavored dishes, such as a fiery Thai coconut curry, a spicy shrimp ceviche, or a salad with asparagus, fennel, and shaved pecorino.
