A pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc signed by Laroche. Sauvignon Blanc is a variety that grows well on the Languedoc hills, neither too close nor too far from the sea. The Sauvignon characteristics are revealed during the alcoholic fermentation such a box tree, blackcurrant bud, grapefruit or passionfruit.

The Sauvignon Blanc has a brilliant pale yellow color with green highlights. The nose reveals notes of lemon, citrus fruit and gooseberry. The palate reveals a lively, nervous freshness.

Michel Laroche was one of the pioneers in the resurgence of quality winemaking in the south of France in the early 1980s. In 1996, he created Mas La Chevalire, a state-of-the-art winery on the grounds of a splendid 18th century guesthouse, with the goal of producing wines that truly reflect the diversity of the Southern French varietals, climate and terroir.

The Languedoc is legendary in French winemaking history, as it was here that the Romans first planted vines in 4 B.C. The region is comprised of an impressive range of terroirs, allowing for the cultivation of a vast diversity of grape varieties. The climate is just right for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the high altitudes and cool temperatures of the foothills of the Massif Central and the Pyrenees.Chardonnay is part of the DNA of Laroche, from Chablis to Languedoc, where it owns Mas la Chevalire with 32.5 hectares of two particularly unique terroirs: one dedicated to Syrah and one to Chardonnay.Today, thanks to its selection on cool climate terroirs and its unique high standard and modern wine cellar, Laroche offers a varietal range that represents balanced freshness and subtle aromas, linked to the Laroche signature.La Chevalire, or The Knights Lady, is a reference to Mas La Chevalire which is literally the Farmhouse of the Knights Lady, the Laroche property in Southern France. Although the farm is historic, the winery is an ultra-modern, temperature-controlled facility designed by Michael Laroche. Mas La Chevalire is considered a reference point in the region for the quality of its winery equipment, which allows for the precise expression of each grape variety and vineyard parcel.
