Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Wines

Top countries producing this wine:

This racy white wine is cultivated throughout the world’s wine regions. In California, Robert Mondavi boosted its popularity by creating an oaked version called Fumé Blanc, most likely in reference to the famous French Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire Valley — Sancerre and Poully Fumé. One of the best values in Sauvignon Blanc also comes from France in the guise of white Bordeaux, primarily Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon added for roundness of texture and longevity. More recently, the Sauvignon Blancs of New Zealand, and Marlborough in particular, have been heralded by wine critics as the finest in the world, famous for their intense, mouth-puckering style of bell pepper, lush passion fruit and a quality they approvingly call “cat’s pee on a gooseberry bush.”

On its own Sauvignon Blanc is best drunk young to fully enjoy its distinctive zippy, fresh personality. Highly aromatic citrus, passion fruit, cut grass, asparagus and straw characteristics are often found in this intensely flavored white. Light in body and full of flavor, Sauvignon Blanc is a favorite for pairing with all sorts of light foods, from tapas to sushi.

France is the world’s largest wine-producing country, and its rich winemaking history dates back at least to the 6th century BC, when Greek immigrants founded the colony of Massalia (present-day Marseille) and introduced viticulture to the area. That trade was later taken over by the Roman Empire, which planted vineyards throughout France. During the Middle Ages, monks were largely responsible for preserving the country’s winemaking tradition, and by the 1800s France was one of the world’s most prestigious producers. But the industry was ravaged by the phylloxera plague of the mid-19th century, an economic downturn and two World Wars. It was not until the 1970s that wines sales started to boom again and France once again became the international wine powerhouse we know today.

Many of the grapes used in winemaking throughout the world originated in France, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Sparkling wine was invented in Champagne, one of the country’s iconic wine regions along with Bordeaux (home to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc), Burgundy (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), Alsace (Gewürztraminer and Riesling), the Loire Valley (Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc) and the Rhône (Syrah and Grenache).
