La Chevalière Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, citrus-driven white poured by the glass at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. It comes from Mas La Chevalière, the southern-France estate founded by Michel Laroche, one of the most influential figures in modern French winemaking. We poured it onto the list because it delivers bright, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that wakes up the palate before and during a meal.
About the Winery
Mas La Chevalière is based in the Orb Valley near Béziers in southern France and was founded by Michel Laroche, who first made his name in Chablis. The estate spans vineyards planted across distinct parcels, each matched to the grape varieties best suited to its microclimate. Laroche brought a precise, terroir-focused sensibility to the warm south, and this Sauvignon Blanc reflects that clean, modern approach.
Region & Grape
This wine is classified as IGP Pays d’Oc, the broad quality designation for the Languedoc region of southern France. The grape is Sauvignon Blanc, vinified to preserve its natural freshness and aromatic lift. The southern climate gives the fruit ripeness while careful winemaking keeps the wine crisp and dry.
Tasting Notes
Expect a citrus-driven nose with lemon and grapefruit notes alongside a hint of passionfruit. A soft grassiness adds the herbal character typical of the grape. The palate is brisk and dry, with bright acidity carrying clean citrus through to a refreshing finish.
