Pierre Menard Sauvignon Blanc Laika 2023

Named 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.
