Producer Information: Famille Perrin
Famille Perrin, rooted in the southern Rhône Valley of France, traces its origins to the early 20th century when Pierre Perrin began cultivating vineyards around the historic Château de Beaucastel near Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The family’s philosophy centers on organic and biodynamic viticulture, emphasizing minimal intervention and a deep respect for terroir across their estates in appellations like Gigondas, Vinsobres, and Côtes du Rhône. Their production style highlights traditional blending techniques that showcase native grape varieties such as Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah.

Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant white wine grape variety known for its crisp and refreshing character, often exhibiting high acidity. This aromatic varietal can range from dry to off-dry, making it a versatile choice for various palates. The flavor profile typically includes bright citrus notes like grapefruit and lemon, complemented by green apple, pear, and tropical fruits such as passion fruit. Additionally, herbal undertones of grass and bell pepper may emerge, along with occasional mineral or flinty characteristics that enhance its complexity.
Originating from renowned wine regions such as the Loire Valley in France and Marlborough in New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc thrives in diverse climates including California, South Africa, and Australia. Vinification techniques often involve fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness; some wines may undergo malolactic fermentation for added creaminess or aging on lees for depth. This light to medium-bodied wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like oysters or grilled fish, salads dressed with vinaigrette, goat cheese, light poultry meals, and even Asian cuisine like Thai food. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at temperatures between 45–50°F (7–10°C).
