Domaine de la Garenne

Craving a white that makes seafood night feel instantly sharper, with lemon, green apple and the clean mineral edge that this dry 2021 Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre in France’s Centre-Loire does brilliantly? Bright enough for oysters and goat cheese yet easygoing enough for a weeknight glass, it’s the leaner French cousin to fruitier Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and a smart next step when you’re ready to explore a more restrained, savoury style.
