Love Sancerre but not the price? Here’s the wine for you- made by one of Sancerre’s top cooperatives. This wine seriously over delivers in the best possible way...easily confused with Sancerre at half the price! This wine is complex with freshness and richness, and pure, drinkable pleasure with every sip. With fresh, lively notes of passion fruit, stony lime, mandarin orange, lemon blossom, and star jasmine, this wine hits all the marks for French Savvy B. Pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes like ceviche or fresh goat cheese with honey and green apple slices.
