Herve Villemade Cheverny La Bodice '22

This Sauvignon Blanc-dominated blend shimmers with pale green reflections and a vibrant nose of grapefruit, lemongrass, and crushed oyster shell. The razor-sharp palate delivers flavors of passionfruit, lime zest, and a striking saline minerality that earned 93 points. Fermented cold in stainless steel with a portion aged in old oak, it balances intensity with finesse at 13% alcohol. The finish lingers with hints of white pepper and sea spray. Serve well-chilled with goat cheese soufflé or ceviche to highlight its crystalline purity.
