Abbesse Sauvignon Blanc 2024
€13.60
In the Loire Valley, a region known for world-class whites like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, Abbesse Sauvignon Blanc stands out for its enchanting grassy-citrus aromas, lovely stone fruit palate and overall quality-to-price ratio.
It comes to us from winemaker Noël Bougrier, the latest generation to helm the celebrated estate of his family, who’ve made fine Sauvignon Blanc in the region since the mid 1880s. The wine is meant to honor the verve of Louise de Bourbon, a noblewoman, nun and norm-breaker extraordinaire who famously secured a rare papal dispensation to renovate her ancient abbey.

Refreshingly energetic and intriguingly complex, it offers leap-from-the-glass lime aromas that lead into a peachy keen, zippy palate. It’s a go-to aperitif that’s equally tasty served with its traditional (and delicious) companion, goat cheese.
