Sauvignon Blanc thrives on the limestone-clay soils of Menetou-Salon, producing white wines that, in top form, give those from neighboring Sancerre a run for their money. An ambitious 2021 release by Domaine Jean-Paul Picard offers a textbook example in which fresh stone fruit, gooseberry, and citrus aromas lead to blossom and mineral nuances. On the palate, its clean and lively structure promises easy springtime pairings with asparagus, goat cheese, or seafood when you stock up for $15.99 a bottle!
