The 2022 LVJ Yountville Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of exceptional aromatic purity, beautiful cool-climate tension, and the kind of precise, elegantly proportioned California Sauvignon Blanc character that Julien Fayard crafts from a variety he approaches with the same terroir-obsessed rigor and minimalist winemaking philosophy that defines his approach to every wine in the LVJ range. Yountville, situated in one of Napa Valley's cooler and more consistently refreshing growing areas, produces Sauvignon Blanc of naturally higher acidity, refined aromatic definition, and the kind of crystalline, citrus-forward elegance that distinguishes the finest California expressions of this variety from the broader, richer styles that warmer growing areas can sometimes produce. Fayard's approach to this Sauvignon Blanc emphasizes precision, freshness, and the authentic expression of the Yountville site's unique cool-climate character: aromas of fresh lime, lemon verbena, white grapefruit, green herb, stone fruit, a subtle floral note, and a clean mineral thread of beautiful definition lead to a crisp, focused, and elegantly proportioned palate of excellent natural acidity, wonderful tension, and a long, clean, and mineral-driven finish of genuine LVJ Yountville Sauvignon Blanc precision and character.
