But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Flavor Profile
Bordeaux’s rare Sauvignon Gris grape is a pink-skinned cousin of Sauvignon Blanc and known for its richer-flavored wines. Hugh Johnson, legendary author of The World Atlas of Wine, has called Château Le Coin Sauvignon Gris “bloody marvelous.” We can’t wait for you to taste the excellent 2023 edition.
Winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua (below), an alumnus of Bordeaux’s legendary Château Haut-Brion and a previous International Wine Challenge White Wine of the Year trophy winner, is famously quality-obsessed. To source the fruit for this premium white, he headed to Ludovic Roussillon’s Château Le Coin, where the low-yielding old vines help produce extra-concentrated flavors. He also barrel fermented a portion of the estate-grown fruit for a little extra richness.
In the glass, look for vibrant lime and gooseberry aromas, leading to grassy citrus and passion fruit flavors. It has a lovely freshness that makes this a fine choice for sipping solo. Or, pair it with classic French fare—try a tarte au saumon fumé (smoked salmon tart), roasted chicken with tarragon herb jus and more.
