Le Printemps Sauvignon Blanc
A crisp Loire Sauvignon Blanc, stocked in small quantity in Commack.
The story behind Le Printemps
Sancerre is the benchmark Sauvignon Blanc of France's Loire Valley, grown on the chalky hillsides around the village of Sancerre. The style is dry and bright, with citrus, gooseberry and fresh-cut grass notes, a lean mineral spine and a clean, flinty finish. It drinks lighter and sharper than most New World Sauvignon Blanc.
