French Strike Back

Most people will say their favourite wine is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but do they realise that just over the water in the Loire region of France, there are some amazing wines to rival? Probably not - hence why InterLoire are making a big song and dance about their wines.

They have selected 18 Sauvignon Blancs from across the area to represent the quality and value for money. Of these 18 wines, Alexander Wines supplies 3 of these......

1. Ackerman Sauvignon Blanc - £6.99 a bottle


2. Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, Domaine Joel Delaunay - £9.45 a bottle


3. Henri Bourgeois Petit Bourgeois - £9.59 a bottle


So why not give France a chance and take the plunge - choose a new wine to rival that trusty New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - we think you will be pleasantly surprised.

    There are some superb French Sauvignon blancs with subtle differences depending on the terroir. I have tasted all three supplied by Alexander wines and would recommend all of them.
