Loire Sauvignon Blanc

Flavor profile

Silex, gooseberry, lime zest — electric and bone-dry.

Our take

Loire Sauvignon at its best is a lightning bolt — this pour crackles with citrus and flint without the aggressive green pepper that cheaper examples show.

It is built for the restaurant’s brighter plates: vegetables, fish, anything that wants a wine with opinions.

Ingredients

• Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre or Touraine)

Pairing recommendations

• Goat cheese tart — classic acid–cream pairing.
• Grilled asparagus with lemon — vegetal harmony.
