Sauvignon Blanc’s roots, pun intended, are in France’s Bordeaux region where it is used to make both dry crisp wines and the great sweet wines of Sauternes. In fact, Sauvignon Blanc was crossed with Cabernet Franc to create the grape we now most associate with Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon. Though still important to the production of White Wine in Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc’s influence has spread not just throughout France, being the dominate varietal grown in the Loire Valley, but in fact the world. This is no more evident than in the wine industry of New Zealand where Sauvignon Blanc has become synonymous with the idea of New Zealand winemaking. This thin skinned grape does take a deft hand to handle its intense aromatics and flavors, but when done correctly Sauvignon Blanc can be a wonderful expression of place, whether that place be France, California, New Zealand, or even Chile. Come try Sauvignon Blanc from all over the world this weekend, you are sure to find a favorite spring/summer wine.
