90+ Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

Believe it or not, even the most celebrated wineries in the world often have the ability to produce more than they can sell under their own top labels. With this idea in mind, Kevin Mehra launched 90+ Cellars. His concept was simple: allow great wineries to sell more wine through a new brand. By offering to not disclose the source, Kevin found that many wineries were happy to offer him their top wines at lower costs in order to sell more. And in doing so, 90+ Cellars was able to bring these world class wines to more people at better prices.

Our global selection is a result of these partnerships with wineries all over the world. The producers we work with all have a history of scoring 90+ point ratings on their wines. Without the overhead and geographical constraints of managing our own vineyards and wineries, we can focus on bringing you remarkable bottles. No need to wander the aisles searching for a great buy, we’ve done the work for you.

The Loire Valley is the spiritual home of Sauvignon Blanc, and its small appellations are among the most exciting, and best-value, wine regions in France. Lot 213 comes from Coteaux du Giennois, a lesser-known gem whose wines can rival the celebrated expressions of neighboring Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Bright, mineral, and irresistibly fresh, this is everything you want out of a Loire Valley white at a price that makes it endlessly enjoyable.

This wine is crafted from Sauvignon Blanc bunches that are hand harvested from vines growing in a unique mixture of silex, limestone, and clay near the banks of the Loire River. The flinty soils lend a distinct minerality that sets this region apart. After a gentle pressing, the wine ferments under cool temperatures to preserve its lively citrus and floral character, the result is a crisp, expressive white that earns its reputation as a baby Sancerre.

Bright grapefruit, peach, and lemon leap from the glass alongside delicate white flowers. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and tangy with a long, refreshing finish of quince and pear. Pair with tuna sashimi, spring asparagus pasta salad, or grilled swordfish.
