Sauvignon Blanc: a globally prized white grape variety

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the world's most popular white grape varieties, known for its freshness, aromatic intensity, and versatility. From the Loire Valley to New Zealand, it thrives in diverse climates, producing dry, crisp, and always highly expressive wines. Perfect for lovers of clean, floral, and fruity white wines, it captivates with its elegance and natural vibrancy.

There, it is often blended with Sémillon and Muscadelle, but also shines as a single varietal. Today, it is widely cultivated in regions such as New Zealand (Marlborough), Chile , and Africa.

Aromatic profile and wine styles

Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by a very expressive nose, blending citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), exotic fruits (passion fruit, guava), fresh herbs, boxwood, blackcurrant bud, and even stony or smoky notes in some cuvées (particularly in Pouilly-Fumé).
