2025 Lucien Reymond VDF Sauvignon Blanc
• Sancerre, France
• 100% Sauvignon Blanc
• Biodynamic
Lucien Reymond Wines is a tribute to family, heritage, and terroir. Born in France's Rhône Valley, Olivier Richard spent his childhood alongside his grandfather, Lucien Reymond, a respected wine négociant in the 1960s who inspired his lifelong passion for wine. Though devoted to the Rhône, Lucien secretly dreamed of crafting Sancerre from the world's finest Sauvignon Blanc, a dream he never fulfilled. Three decades later, Olivier honors his grandfather by bringing that vision to life in Sancerre. Farming with organic and biodynamic principles, he believes great wine begins in healthy soils and that every bottle should express the unique character of its vineyard. More than simply making Sancerre, Olivier seeks to capture the essence of place through thoughtful viticulture and minimal intervention, producing wines of purity, precision, vibrant minerality, and deep respect for the land and his grandfather's enduring legacy.
Tasting Notes: Bright and mineral-driven, with citrus, gooseberry, white peach, and fresh herbs balanced by crisp acidity. Pair with oysters, chèvre, grilled fish, asparagus, sushi, or light summer salads for a classic Loire-inspired match.
