More about the 2024 COUP DE FOUDRE NAPA VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC: In the heart of Napa Valley, where sun-drenched vineyards meet the artistry of winemaking, Coup de Foudre crafts a singular expression of Sauvignon Blanc. The 2024 vintage, meticulously styled after the esteemed white Bordeaux wines of Pessac-Léognan, stands as the winery's sole white offering—a testament to their dedication and precision. With only eight barrels produced, this limited release captures the essence of its terroir, delivering a wine that is both distinctive and evocative. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a luminous hue, inviting the senses with aromas of yuzu zest, lychee, and stone fruit, interwoven with subtle flinty nuances. The palate is immediately greeted by a burst of melon and tropical notes, gracefully transitioning to hints of pink grapefruit. A creamy mid-palate, reminiscent of fresh custard, is artfully balanced by crisp acidity, culminating in an extended, satisfying finish. Crafted by winemaker Kent Jarman, the 2024 Coup de Foudre Sauvignon Blanc embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Its bright minerality and layered complexity make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, from fresh shellfish to goat's milk cheese. This wine not only reflects the unique character of Napa Valley but also offers an unforgettable tasting experience that lingers long after the final sip. "This is the only white wine we produce — the only white varietal we ever would choose to approach. We style our Sauvignon Blanc after some of the great white Bordeaux wines from the Pessac Leognan region, offering a flavor profile of pink grapefruit, stone fruits and bright minerality. Yuzu citrus zest, lychee and stone fruit with nuances of flint make up the aromatics. A burst of melon and tropical notes immediately flood the palate followed by subtle pink grapefruit. The creamy mid-palate offers notes of fresh custard balanced by crisp acidity and an extended finish. Only 8 barrels produced."
