Introduction:
A crisp and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc from Languedoc, this Pas de Problème bottling delivers vibrant citrus and floral character with refreshing minerality. It’s crafted as an easygoing white that’s perfect for warm weather sipping or light starters.
Terroir:
Grown around the Béziers area, Languedoc. The vineyards benefit from Mediterranean warmth during the day and cooling influences at night, which help maintain acidity. Soil helps impart minerality; yields are managed to emphasize fruit purity.
Appearance:
Pale lemon with a faint green tinge; bright, clear, and glistening in the glass.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, elderflower, and hints of lime leaf. Floral undertones with a touch of citrus blossom.
Palate:
Light-to-medium bodied. Crisp acidity carries forward the lemon and green apple flavors, with touches of white peach and tropical undertone. Mineral streak and clean herbal notes add tension and freshness.
Finish:
Crisp and lingering, with citrus zest, subtle floral echoes, and clean mineral drive.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
-
Meat dish: Lemon-garlic grilled shrimp or seared scallops with herb butter
-
Vegetarian option: Zucchini ribbon salad with fresh herbs and citrus vinaigrette or goat cheese tart with lemon and thyme
-
Cheese pairing: Fresh chèvre or young Havarti (light, creamy cheeses that let the wine’s acidity shine)
Overall Impression:
Bright and invigorating, the 2023 Pas de Problème Sauvignon Blanc brings crisp citrus, stone fruit, and floral notes into harmony with mineral tension and lively acidity. Refreshing and elegant, it’s a stellar choice for summer gatherings or pairing with seafood and light fare.
