The Two Faces of Sauvignon Blanc
The Loire River snakes through the heart of France, leaving behind a wake of chalky soil perfect for cultivating Sauvignon Blanc grapes to make outstanding wines. When it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, two lords rule the Loire Valley side by side. Sancerre east of the river and Pouilly-Fumé to the west. Some winemakers here carry on long family legacies deeply rooted in tradition, while others are determined to risk everything to forge their own path.
