Carolyn Evans Hammond, a Toronto-based wine writer and a contributing columnist for the Star, chronicled the Sauvignon Blanc 2019 and gave it the great score of
92/100
“Sauvignon Blanc lovers often look to New Zealand, Chile, and the Loire Valley in France, all of which make that wine well. But an easy-to-find alternative that’s charming and inexpensive is the 2019 “Les Jamelles” Sauvignon Blanc from the South of France (LCBO 465146 £14.95).
This French white exudes classic scents of freshly sliced lemons and damp herbs before racing over the palate with lively lemon-lime nuanced with white flowers and orange zest. Dry, well-balanced, and well-priced, the 2019 “Les Jamelles” Sauvignon Blanc is the type of wine I like to pour into a clay pitcher and serve with a big green salad topped with grilled fish, fresh cheese or roasted chicken, alongside a country loaf and some good butter. Score: 92). “ Carolyn Evans Hammond
