Undoubtedly, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most likable French grapes to make white wine.

This is an unoaked version, fresh and lively and ideal at the table whether it be alongside an aged goat cheese or croquettes.

Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker.
