This Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc from La Croix Grimault is a delightful expression of the Loire Valley’s unique terroir, showcasing the region’s signature flint and mineral notes. The 2021 vintage, which earned a notable 95 points, offers a vibrant bouquet of citrus zest, green apple, and hints of freshly cut grass, all underscored by a refreshing minerality. On the palate, it’s crisp and lively, with a bright acidity that dances alongside flavors of ripe pear and subtle herbaceousness, creating a beautifully balanced wine. Perfect for a sunny afternoon picnic or paired with seafood dishes like grilled scallops or a fresh goat cheese salad, this wine is not just a treat for the senses but also a smart buy for the quality, delivering far beyond its peers.
