The 2023 LVJ Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is Julien Fayard's definitive expression of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc — a white wine of vibrant aromatic energy, polished Napa character, and the kind of generous, textured, and food-friendly style that makes it the ideal companion for the Maison Fayard tasting room table and beyond. Drawing from Napa Valley vineyard sources ideally positioned to produce Sauvignon Blanc of natural freshness and aromatic richness, Julien crafts a wine that bridges the approachable vibrancy of a great New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with the added texture and minerality that the Napa Valley appellation and his gentle winemaking naturally contribute. The 2023 vintage, warm and excellently balanced, produced Sauvignon Blanc fruit of outstanding aromatic completeness: aromas of ripe grapefruit, passion fruit, white nectarine, lemon zest, freshly mown grass, and a clean stony mineral thread lead to a medium-bodied, refreshingly crisp palate of lively acidity, excellent focus, and a long, clean, flavor-packed finish that rewards every sip.
