Chevalier de Fauvert Sauvignon Blanc (2024)
Chevalier de Fauvert / IGP Pays d'Oc, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
The Mellow, Sun-Warmed Southern French Sipper
Pale straw-yellow with bright golden highlights in the glass. The nose is friendly and open, offering up aromas of fresh lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and a subtle hint of elderflower. Light-bodied and smooth on the palate, driven by refreshing citrus acidity, a soft-textured fruit core, and a clean, easy-going finish.
⭐ (Sitting at around 12% ABV and cleanly fermented in stainless steel, it is light on its feet, refreshing, and very kind to the head).
M&S seafood chowder, grilled white fish, lemon-herb chicken, goat cheese tarts, or a simple garden salad.
When you're in a country without vineyards, you're at the mercy of the local shelves—and sometimes you just want a French white that won't make your jaw tighten from acidity. This knight-labeled Pays d'Oc bottling takes the panic out of Sauvignon Blanc. Instead of shouting at you with cat-pee and freshly mowed grass, it brings a relaxed, sun-kissed charm with soft lemon, peach, and apple notes. It's unpretentious, highly drinkable, and a great fridge staple for an easy evening in.
