🍷 Chateau Thenac Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is a dry white from Bergerac in southwest France, made for a well-set dinner table. Sauvignon Blanc leads a blend with Sémillon and Muscadelle. Selected vineyard plots, fermentation in new barrels and eight months of barrel ageing give this wine a clear identity: a French white with texture as well as freshness.
🍏 Apple, peach and pear form the fruit profile, accompanied by a delicate praline note. The palate has a creamy texture and medium body, while fresh acidity keeps the style lively. It is a useful choice when you want a white wine with enough presence to accompany a full meal, from the first savoury course through to cheese.
🐟 Chateau Thenac Sauvignon Blanc - Pair it with grilled fish, white meats or aged cheeses. For a dinner at home, try simply grilled fish with vegetables, or poultry followed by a small cheese plate. These are easy ways to build a meal around the bottle without needing an elaborate menu. A white wine glass with some space in the bowl will let you enjoy the aromas as you take your time over each course.
❄️ We recommend serving at 10–12°C. Chill the bottle in advance and pour modest servings; if the wine feels too cold, give it a few minutes in the glass. Keep the bottle closed and refrigerated between pours. The 750ml format is convenient for sharing at dinner and makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys French white wines. Its 2020 vintage received 91 points from James Suckling, a useful reference when choosing a bottle for a special meal.
