La Perrière La Petite Perrière

Description

Though grown throughout the world, Sauvignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley is a distinguished class on its own. Aided by the limestone-enriched soil and cool climate, Sauvignon Blanc thrives here. With a name derived from the french word sauvage — meaning 'wild' — this varietal is well over 500 years old. Known for its dry, tart style, Sauv Blanc is a classic white standby for wine fans. Traditionally unoaked, fermentation takes place in stainless steel drums and bottled young and fresh, to allow for crisp acidity and bold flavour. Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc is known for being very light bodied, medium-high acidity, with chalky minerality. Leaning away from the fruity side of the spectrum, this region's high-end offerings will have higher alcohol levels and light-medium body. Understanding its popularity and rich history, the Saget Family ventured far and wide to source the best grapes and land they could. The Sagets have been in the winemaking business for over three centuries! Their La Petit Perriére Sauvignon Blanc now stands tall as one of their flagship labels — for good reason. Best enjoyed between 7 to 10 C and by 2025.
