Mézy, Sauvignon Blanc Réserve de Primes, Loire, France, 2022

A Vin de France sourced primarily from the Loire Valley, this wine has subtle floral aromatics lifted by a smoky lemon note and a streak of wet slate. The palate is lean and bright, with flashes of grilled lemon peel, smoky flint, and notes of cut grass. The finish is lifted by bright acidity and a touch of white pepper.
