Picardy sauvignon blanc sémillon 2025

If you think you’ve seen just about every example of sauvignon blanc and sémillon from this state, think again. This is an outstanding take on a blend that can sometimes be ho-hum, but in the right hands can be something special. Here, three clones of sauvignon blanc are co-fermented with 15% sémillon. The result is compelling: delightful lemon aromatics, subtle gooseberry and grassy notes, and a touch of dried herb. The palate is deeply intense yet carries a lovely airy feel. An SBS I’d happily bring to the table for any occasion. Cracking good wine.
