2020 Hello Paris Cotes du Gascogne Sauvignon Blanc

When savvy fans of zippy, citrus-packed Sauvignon Blanc want to score a real (delicious) value, they head to southwest France’s Côtes de Gascogne region. Once devoted to the production of Armagnac brandy, these limestone-rich soils yield uniquely expressive and wonderfully aromatic whites—and just wait till you try this one. Aside from the Eiffel Tower on the label, Hello Paris comes with some additional hardware: a shiny, 90-point gold medal from the 2021 Sommelier Challenge. Bursting with citrus peel, notes of mineral, and white flowers, Hello Pairs will be a totally tasty match for shellfish, creamy cheeses (try herbed goat cheese on crostini!), or gourmet salads—Niçoise, anyone?
