Clos Du Val - Sauvignon Blanc - Napa Valley

Overview: At the heart of Clos du Val is an epic love story. Wine, after all, is a product of passion, and ours is the passion project of John and Henrietta Goelet, together with winemaker Bernard Portet.

It was the early 1970s in France. The young couple were world travelers, patrons of the arts, and entrepreneurs who brought a visionary spirit to their every endeavor. They adored the wine culture of France, where they lived for many years, and shared family ties to some of Bordeaux’s most storied wine merchants, Barton & Guestier. They dreamt of founding a winery outside the insular world of the French wine industry, and sharing their love for French-style wines with the world. At the time, it was a daring idea–fine wine was still synonymous with France, and it was widely believed that nowhere else on earth could rival such terroir, tradition, and winemaking excellence.

Tasting Notes: Fresh aromas of Meyer lemon, grapefruit, and pineapple leap from the glass in this vibrant yet complex Sauvignon Blanc. Bright acidity and crisp minerality frame the palate with lingering flavors of white nectarine, lemongrass, apricot, and tangerine

Pairing: Rabbit terrine
