It’s another scorcher in Nashville today, which means we will sample a new Sauvignon Blanc that I grabbed at Trader Joe’s. Today, we are opening Vignobles Lacheteau Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, produced in Touraine, France, a subregion that produces white wines comparable to the Sancerre region.

Today’s wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes and is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh flavor profile and vibrant character. Typically, Sauvignon Blancs are very bright and acidic. They have what I like to call a high pucker factor when consumed.

I grabbed this bottle from the fridge and let it warm up just slightly before I poured myself a glass.

So, shall we get into the juicy details?

Tasting Notes:

• Pale/Medium Straw hue

• Bright citrus notes ( think lemon, peach, hint of green apple)

• The slightest grassiness on the nose

• Moderate acidity ( pucker factor - mild)

• Serve chilled

Verdict:

This is definitely a white wine that I will keep on rotation. It not only has an affordable price point, but it’s one of those wines that would go well with seafood or be perfect for sipping while snacking on Cheddar, Gouda, or my favorite, Havarti. If you are a Sauvignon Blanc fan, grab this bottle next time you are in Trader Joe’s, and let me know what you think!

Until Next Time!
