Les Alliés Sauvignon Blanc
France
This Sauvignon Blanc shows intricate layers of lemons, limes and white peaches, offset by crisp acidity and minerals but softened with buttercream and buttered toast. A vibrant, immaculate wine. Very crisp and perfectly dry.
$11.99

Domaine Pierre Martin Sancerre
France
Persistent and focused, this wine really
sings with its intense notes of lemon
verbena, fresh cut grass, and strong
minerality, all elegantly displayed on a
mouthwatering structure. The long finish
is bright and lacy, with lovely detail.
$28.99

Domaine de Villalin Quincy
France
Quincy is the far lesser known sister appellation to Sancerre. This distinctive wine shows the green fig and fig leaf side of Sauvignon Blanc, with a bit of smokiness, lime zest and white pepper mingled in. The texture is elegantly rounded, and the finish is brightly dry. A beautifully textured, linear wine that would embarrass most wines from neighboring Sancerre!
$21.99

Château Graville-Lacoste Graves
France
A crisp and dry, medium-bodied Graves full of rich, fruity, herbal character. The classic white Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, it has a fresh, lingering finish. Pure Sémillon can be a bit uninteresting and Sauvignon Blanc can veer into high-acid territory, but this blend keeps things nice and mellow on the palate with a less zesty finish.
$22.99

Landron La Louvetrie Muscadet
France
Organic. Lively, fruity, cheerful, zesty, and aromatic, with notes of seashell iodine and ripe-from-the-tree grapefruit approaching at full speed on the palate. Several terroirs contribute to the classic simplicity on this pristine, light white. This is an ideal apéritif or partner to a fish course, as well as light summer fare, but feel free to drink it year round.

Domaine des Verchères Mâcon-Villages
France
We never tire of great new Chardonnay finds from the Mâcon area of Burgundy.

An easy going wine, try it with seared sea scallops or chicken in wine sauce.

Domaine Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc

Nicolas Delfaud Mâcon-Verzé

Organic. Rising star Nicolas Delfaud is making incredible wines from east-facing limestone slopes in the Macon-Verzé appellation. With minimal intervention and aged in stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels for just 9 month leaves a wine with great nerve and drive. Citrus, pear, starfruit and hints of sea salt abound, with a mineral core that makes a delicious wine.

Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc
France
Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc possesses just the right amount of zesty Sauvignon Blanc flavors that let you know that it's distinctively French, but the acidity that it delivers really pops nicely for a white Bordeaux without the pucker up style of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc (no Semillon), crisp, vibrant and fresh.
