This Sauvignon Blanc is produced by the Couillaud Family at the Château de la Ragotière, a few minutes from the Atlantic near the mouth of the Loire River, where the maritime climate is ideal for producing whites that are refreshing and bright. The Couillauds age most of this wine on its lees until bottling to add weight and texture. Less tangy than some Loire Sauvignon Blancs, this easy, soft wine has attractive acidity and a balanced, steely texture. It’s crisp, with some herbaceousness over grapefruit flavors.
Serve as an aperitif or with grilled lobster, fish with sauce, chicken curry, and hard cheeses.
