Vigne Franche – Sauvignon Gris 2024
Vin de France – France 🇫🇷
Overview
A 100% Sauvignon Gris made as a natural wine — no added sulfites, no added yeasts, and fully vegan-friendly. Sauvignon Gris, a close cousin of Sauvignon Blanc, offers rounder texture and a slightly more exotic fruit character. In this 2024 expression, the natural vinification brings freshness and a touch of rustic charm.
Aromas & Flavors
Zesty notes of citrus peel, grapefruit, and gooseberry, layered with stone fruit and a hint of herbs. The natural style adds a lightly textured, almost cider-like nuance that makes it playful and distinctive.
Mouthfeel
Crisp and refreshing, light-bodied but with a textured mid-palate. Bright acidity keeps it lively, while the unfiltered style leaves a casual, slightly wild impression.
Food Pairing
Perfect for mezze, grilled shrimp, fresh summer salads, or simply sipping with friends. A crowd-pleaser that also works as an introduction to natural wines.
Verdict
An approachable natural white that’s fun, zesty, and easy to enjoy. Built for casual moments but with enough character to stand out.
📌 Sidebar – Educational Note
Sauvignon Gris is a pink-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc. It’s rarer, fuller-bodied, and tends to deliver rounder, more aromatic wines than its better-known cousin — making it an exciting discovery for wine lovers.
