This Sauvignon Blanc from Chablis is intriguing first and foremost because of where it comes from. Stylistically, it leans toward a more mineral, less in-your-face version of the punchy New World expressions. Green apricot, freshly cut grass, peach, gooseberries, and lemon. On the palate, it hits a vibrant and well-balanced note, with a structure that's almost buttery - but not soft. Just enough weight to carry the freshness.
