DOMAINE LAROCHE - MAS LA CHEVALIERE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

Mas La Chevalière's Sauvignon Blanc showcases pioneer Michel Laroche's commitment to quality winemaking in the South of France, where he established a state-of-the-art winery in an 18th-century guesthouse during the region's quality resurgence in the 1980s. The Languedoc-Roussillon terroir imparts distinctive character to this sustainable wine, which presents a pale straw color and enticing elderflower aromas with subtle mineral overtones. The palate reveals an elegant structure featuring bright fresh fruit and zesty lime peel flavors, perfectly balanced by the trademark acidity that Laroche is known for across his properties. This expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Pays d'Oc carries the same philosophy as its Chablis siblings—leading with pure fruit expression and minimal oak influence—culminating in a refreshingly long finish that captures the essence of its Mediterranean origins.
