Fernand & Sons Coteaux du Giennois Sauvignon Blanc (Loire, France) ‘23

From vineyards just north of Sancerre on flinty limestone soils, this Sauvignon Blanc rivals top-tier Sancerre at a fraction of the price. It opens with a fruity bouquet of peach, apricot, and melon, followed by a textured palate layered with stone fruit, quince, and vibrant minerality. Elegant, racy, and terroir-driven, it offers exceptional value and character—an insider’s pick that could easily outshine more expensive Sancerres in a blind tasting.
