Chateau Laulerie Sauvignon Blanc Bergerac, 2024 Carignan The stainless steel and concrete100% Sauvignon Blanc from just outside Bordeaux, grown on clay limestone soils. It is crisp, rich, with lovely acidity to balance it all out. Mostly primary fruit flavors in this fun little wine. It is a great pairing for linguine and clams. Make sure to cook with some of it too.
