Sauvignon Blanc's classic home is the Loire — the valley that taught the world what this grape is supposed to taste like. Bright, dry and grassy, with a citrus snap.
Sauvignon Blanc grows all over the world now — New Zealand made it famous for tropical exuberance, and it's planted from Chile to South Africa. But the Val de Loire in north-west France is where the grape found its defining voice, and where its most celebrated names, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, come from. The cooler climate keeps acidity high and the fruit restrained, which is why Loire Sauvignon tastes taut and mineral rather than sweet and tropical. This is that style at an everyday price.

Questions
What food does it pair with?
A natural with seafood, chicken, salads and cheese — especially goat's cheese, which is the Loire's own regional pairing — plus anything cooked with fresh herbs.
How is Loire Sauvignon Blanc different from New Zealand?
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is typically bolder and more tropical — passionfruit, gooseberry, sometimes quite pungent. Loire Sauvignon is cooler-climate: leaner, more citrus and mineral, with a grassier edge and higher acidity.
Should I age it?
No — it's best enjoyed young and fresh, soon after release, while its aromatics are at their most vibrant.
