Details
With this classic looking bottle, you would expect nothing more than a classic wine from an era where you wouldn’t see an iPhone in sight at a restaurant and the only accompaniment was good company or maybe a broadsheet newspaper with quality content. Citrus notes dominate this Sauvignon Blanc with a clean edge and refreshing finish, no thrills, just good honest wine.

Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms. Mainly Grown In: France, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, USA, South Africa Key Facts: If you’re a fan of a lime twist in your drinks, the smell of fresh cut grass in the morning, and have been told you are intense or that "you sure stand out in a crowd", well, you’ve met your match. Sauvignon Blanc is an all-dials-at-max kind of grape, which means it's going to fist pump your senses with its intense (and sometimes pungent) aromas, mouth-watering freshness and a cleansing herbaceous character. As one of the most planted white grapes in the world, it’s no wonder it has claimed hearts in various styles; It can be lean and zesty when it’s from cooler climates and fuller and more tropical when grown in warmer ones. Fun Fact: In French, Sauvignon means "wild". Some say this reflects the wild nature of the Sauvignon blanc grape vine, which is quite vigorous and can grow out of control if not monitored by vineyard workers.

Pairing guide
A good bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is always going to impress when it comes to food pairing versatility, and this stunner from Maison Johanès Boubée is certainly no exception. It’s especially good with chicken and green vegetable combos, spinach and ricotta pasta dishes or pastries, and anything featuring the Thai ‘holy trinity’ of ginger, garlic and chilli with plenty of green herbs. White fish, seafood like prawns and scallops, curried white meats and simple green salads will also pair fantastically well.

Wine region
South of France, France
French wine regions are quite controlling about what grapes they can use, when they can pick their grapes and what must be stated on the bottles. If wineries want to avoid all these tiresome restrictions, they simply use the catch-all term "Vin de France" ; however this mostly applies to the South of France where the main wine regions of Bordeaux, Rhone, Languedoc-Roussillon and the South-West sit. These regions grow it all, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Grenache and Sauvignon Blanc to Viognier so it is a great option to make less serious and restrictive wine and wines with a bit of personality.
