Sauvignon Blanc
Zesty, fragrant sauvignon blanc is probably the most popular white wine variety in the world right now. But while tropical-fruit tinged New Zealand sauvignon style graces every wine list in the country, it’s worth discovering that there’s much more to this aromatic grape variety than Marlborough.
In its homeland of the Loire Valley, France, sauvignon blanc showcases its aromatic character and refreshing acidity at its best in the form of pure, zesty wines.
The other key region in France for top-quality sauvignon blanc is Bordeaux. It is here that the variety finds itself in bed with its most frequent blending partner, semillon, creating arguably the world’s finest sweet wines in the form of Sauternes and Barsac, along with good quantities of dry, fresh, white wines.
