La Petite Metairie #ONO Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

The #ONO label belongs to Honorine Pain, of the Chinon family behind Domaine de la Commanderie — a deliberately modern line bottled as Vin de France rather than under the Loire's appellation hierarchy, leaving her free rein on sourcing and style. The fruit is organically farmed, and the winemaking is correspondingly hands-off, with nothing added to blur varietal character. Lightly herbal on the nose, with ample white orchard fruit beneath. A fine squeeze of lemon lifts the palate, which is crisp and lively-textured despite a notably generous alcohol. Unfussy, honest, and made for drinking young.

Pairing: goat cheese, river fish, asparagus, herbed salads.
