Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc serves as a varietal standard to which the rest of the world aspires. In a glass of the 2021 'La Croix Grimault,' the taut energy, lemon zest acidity, and flinty minerality present tell-tale signposts of Pouilly-Fume. The taste profile owes much of its typicity to the great source fruit grown on Kimmeridgian limestone and aging for a year on the lees. At 65% off, this refreshing French white stands out as a true bargain, so don't delay!
