2022 Deschamps Les Loges
On Sale for $25.60
Pouilly-Fumé / Loire Valley / France
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Roughly 100 producers farm the over 3,000 acres of vines planted in the barren, limestone soils of the Pouilly area. “Fumé” or smoked is added to the region’s name in reference not only to the distinct gray bloom that envelops the ripe Sauvignon grapes prior to harvest, but also for the intense flinty aromas found in the resulting wine.
2022 St Supery Dollarhide
On Sale for $28
Napa Valley / California / US
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Sourced entirely from estate owned vineyards in the Rutherford district, Dollarhide Sauvignon Blanc spends five months in French oak barrels of which 16% are new.
