Chateau Potelle VGS Sauvignon Blanc

The History

Chateau Potelle was born when we moved from France in 1980, to be part of the California winemaking adventure. We wanted to be creative in making wine rather than being constrained by the years of traditions that existed in France. Our vision at Chateau Potelle is to produce wines with style and character that are representative of their birth place. Our job as winemaker is to respect and exploit the unique qualities of our “roots”…to craft wines with a sense of style and personality.

The grape

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting note

Fresh and inviting, this Sauvignon Blanc displays aromas of kafir lime, wild fennel, lemongrass and serrano pepper.  The wines liveliness is really showcased on the palate as well.  Flavors of tropical fruits such as guava and pineapple come into play right away, while a subtle oak influence provides some body and a slight nuttiness to the wine.  With so many nuances, you are sure to discover more aromas and flavors over the next 1-2 years.
