When looking for the best easy sippin’ wines, it’s hard to look past France’s Loire Valley. Home to Sancerre, Pouilly Fume, Touraine, Menetou-Salon and Quincy, the Loire is incredibly rich with great Sauvignon Blanc regions. Luckily for us, today’s wine features a little bit of everything.
Similar to the Wagner Family and Caymus in California, Villebois’ Dutch/French owner has vineyards in all of Loire’s desirable Sauvignon Blanc areas, with unprecedented access and resources available to make world class Sauvignon. Today’s wine is a rarity that includes grapes from right in the middle of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume, with the slight additions of Menetou-Salon and Touraine.
The resulting wine is like a Baby Sancerre for less than half the price– but a fruity, more vibrant version of Sauvignon– one that is incredibly, light, fresh and delicious and perfect for some appetizers, pool-side sipping or better yet a combination of the two.
The best part is the price. Villebois has a full portfolio of single vineyard wines from Sancerre, as well as bottling Pouilly Fume, Menetou-Salon and Touraine AVA wines. But this is the only wine in the portfolio that has a little slice of everything. As such it’s labeled as a Vin de France — an overarching region known for producing great bargains, though none as good as this one today.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.

This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
