Domaine Saint-Cyr VdF Sauvage Blanc 2023 CHECK UPC A sublime expression of theSauvignon Blanc in Beaujolais is not a thing, which is precisely why Raphael Saint Cyr makes it. Sauvage comes off clay limestone soils at his organic estate in Anse and is vinified with no additives and no fuss, in a quantity so small it barely leaves France.
