The Comtesse Marion Sauvignon Blanc is always a true contender for French Value of the Year. Despite its modest price point, this wine drinks like a Saint-Bris or even a Pouilly Fume, delivering a taste profile that rivals bottles priced at double the cost. It’s a rare find and easily one of the best white values of the year – a must-try and a great addition to any collection.
The Vic family are now fifth-generation wine growers in Southern France. They seem to improve on their reputation with each passing generation. Their Sauvignon Blanc is particularly noteworthy. It has a chameleon-like quality, as it almost smells like a NZ Sauv Blanc but tastes like a $30/bottle French Sauv. In reality, it’s neither of those things – it’s even better.
