Pierre Chainier Selection 1749 Sauvignon Blanc

Classical French Sauvignon Blanc is a softer style to traditional Sav. Fantastic value for those who get need a break from the super-crisp Marlborough versions. Lower acid, more body, and more persistence on the palate.

Bright yellow with a hint of green. Dry, zesty, lemony citrus aromas. Citrus fruit and green herbs on the palate, well balanced, with a crisp and refreshing acidity. Serve chilled on its own or with appetizers, cooked or smoked meats and fish, with seafood or goat cheese.
