Meiomi Chardonnay
100%
Match
Back in 2015, Joe Wagner, whose father owns Caymus, sold the Meiomi brand to Constellation Brands for $315 million. Let that sink in for a second. Constellation, one of the largest wine companies in the world bought only the brand for crazy money; no vineyards, no winery, nothing but some wine with labels on it. Now, what does that say about Meiomi and its style of wine? Somebody bet really, really big on it and, so far, the bet has worked out.

Philippe Viallet Savoie Blanc
100%
Match
The Viallet family have been working the vineyards of Savoie since 1966, when Marcel and Yvonne purchased their first estate, Domaine Clos Réservé, in Apremont. Their son Philippe studied in Burgundy and then came back to help in 1984, pushing them into biodynamically farming at high altitude in the Savoie. They’ve embraced the local grapes, including the Jacquère grape, which we love for its crazy lemony acidity.

Roche Bousseau Anjou Blanc
100%
Match
The beautiful Château de la Roche Bousseau was constructed in 1433, though much of it was destroyed after the French Revolution and rebuilt thereafter. Vines were planted in 1791 and have grown to almost 200 acres of Chenin Blanc and the other usual Loire Valley grapes. Chenin creates a simple enough wine in most places, but in Anjou the grape offers wines that can be complex, complete and exciting.

So, is it okay if I predict that Sauvignon Blanc becomes the world’s most widely planted grape in the next decade? In southern France, with the collection of hills, valleys, and plains rolling down to the Mediterranean, it thrives. Sure, the plains are not where you grow Sauvignon Blanc, but there are plenty of other spots where you do. There these wines are vibrant, expressive and tangy – and it’s rare that those three descriptors go together.

It’s surprising that grapes like Sauvignon Blanc aren’t more widely planted in southern France, as they can be harvested fairly early to retain bright and citrusy acidity without really losing character or even complexity. Maybe wines like this will encourage more winemakers to try working with crisp and aromatic white grapes in Languedoc-Roussillon.
