Chateau Laulerie Sauvignon Blanc Bergerac, 2024 Carignan and Marselan

and Marselan

this wine is a true expression of the region and is a lovely pairing with grilled lamb chops and Israeli couscous

the grapes benefit from the unique Monterey Shale and alluvium soils

It’s a wine that is a bit of an outlier in Piedmont distinctly lacking the leathery earthiness that have become characteristic of Italy’s northwest region

Chateau Laulerie Sauvignon Blanc Bergerac, 2024 Carignan and Marselan100% 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.
