Chateau de la Roche 2004 Sauvignon Blanc

Chateau de la Roche 2004 Sauvignon Blanc
Loire Valley, France

Sauvignon Blanc is the great summer white wine - crisp, refreshing, and light - and the Loire Valley in the center of France has been the home of great Sauvignon Blanc for many years. Chateau de la Roche's vineyards line the river valley, and the river cools the grapes to preserve the zest and aromas of the wine. And unlike some stodgier French producers, the Chateau has worked to keep their winery state-of-the-art, using the latest technology to get the most out of their grapes.

Wines from the Loire Valley are sometimes not fruity enough for many people, but the Chateau de la Roche comes through with mouthwatering aromas of grapefruit and melons. It's refreshingly dry and cleansing, each sip leading you to the next. This wine is just perfect for a summer day.
