Domaine de Villargeau Coteaux du Giennois Blanc 2023

For fans of great Sauvignon Blanc who are also fans of great value, the Coteaux du Giennois is the name to know. The region is a long stretch of the Loire’s limestone-marl right bank north of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. 

Look for aromas of lavender, lemon rind, apple and flint. The palate is silky and bright and seamless, with more apple and lemon, with additional touches of rosemary lingering on the finish. Pair with strong veggie flavors like artichokes and brussels sprouts, or rich seafoods like tuna and scallops.
