Pierre Menard Sauvignon Blanc Laika 2023 GROWER produced at the beautifully restoredNamed after history's first creature in space, this Sauvignon Blanc from le Clos de la Roche in Faye d'Anjou reaches for something rare and distinctive. Hand harvested and aged in a mix of used barrels, sandstone amphora, and tank, it captures the gravity of an uncommon schist soil. Flavors of ripe pear, quince, and chamomile unfold with subtle phenolic grip and a savoury, herbal finish that lingers with intrigue.
