Best French White Wines: Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc Terroirs & Microclimates


It's a warm summer's evening and you're enjoying a view of the sunset from a stone terrace in Southern France. . .


In this moment of sheer delight, would you prefer to sip a refreshing glass of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chablis?


The truth is - they're all delicious, and have their own unique flavor profiles that keep you coming back for more.

But. . . what makes one wine taste so different from another, you may wonder? The answer: terroir!


Research shows terroir has a measurable effect on flavor profiles, affecting elements like body intensity, tannins, and fruitiness.

Wine Download explores how different soil compositions, like limestone and clay, sandstone and granite, or flint and limestone, add unique components to a wine’s profile.


The team also lists sub-regions in which you can discover even greater varieties of white wine, such as the Côte de Beaune, in Burgundy or Sancerre, within the Loire Valley.
