Minervois limestone terroir: crisp Sauvignon Blanc from France's Mediterranean fringe, unoaked and mineral-driven.
Minervois, the ancient Roman wine zone straddling Languedoc and Roussillon, sits on a foundation of limestone and schist at 200–300 metres elevation, where Mediterranean heat meets Atlantic cooling winds. This Sauvignon Blanc captures that tension: the region's garrigue-scented hillsides feed into vineyards where clay-limestone soils enforce mineral precision.
La Campagne's expression is unoaked, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve aromatic volatility. The wine sees no malolactic conversion, retaining the bright acidity native to cool-fermented Sauvignon. Harvest timing favours phenolic ripeness over sugar accumulation—a hallmark of serious Minervois producers navigating the region's continental-Mediterranean crossroads.
The special signature here is limestone salinity: Minervois Sauvignon rarely achieves the Loire's herbaceous intensity, instead trading green-fruit sharpness for a white-stone minerality and subtle saline grip that reflects the region's geological spine. Drink 2024–2026 for maximum aromatic definition.
Sommelier’s pick: Grilled branzino with lemon and olive oil · Chèvre and herb salad with walnut vinaigrette · Goat cheese crostini with thyme
