Grassy, grapefruit and melon aromas, with hints of apples and smoke, lead to dry, tart, citrus flavors in the mouth. The acidity is adequate to make things lively and refreshing in this clean, balanced wine. 1 Note

Very rough and salty, with oversized, aggressive Sauv-like aromas and flavors that are well within the realm of varietal correctness but just not very pleasant. There’s a lot of sweat, pungency and salinity to this one. 1 Note

Sauvignon de Saint-Bris, which encircles the city of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, southwest of Chablis, became an appellation contrôlée this year. Its specialty is crisp, fresh Sauvignon Blanc, a complete contrast to the Chardonnay grown throughout the rest of Burgundy. Jean-Marc Brocard, better known for his Chablis, makes this crisp, fresh and lively wine, with flavors of white currants. 1 Note

A mainstream, commercial style that blends green peppers and green peas with a sweet midpalate. Not overly aggressive or pungent, just a soft, lightly sweet sipper. 1 Note

Fairly rich and full, this wine offers good texture and ripe citrus, pineapple and herb aromas. There is a sour lemon-drop quality to the flavors, but they are neither unpleasantly tart, nor candy sweet. Good acidity provides lift and a fresh tang. 1 Note

For fans of grassy, gooseberry-accented wines. Lemon and lime show here, too, with decent acidity. Tiny amounts of Semillon and Chardonnay add dimension. It’s fruity and simple, very clean (as you’d expect), a touch sweet and finishes swiftly. 1 Note

Crisp, grass, mint and mild citrus aromas open this clean, fresh Sauvignon Blanc. It shows mild grapefruit flavors with medium weight, an even texture, and a lightly chalky feel. Not at all sharp or extreme. Finishes short, but brightly. 1 Note

An easy-to-drink wine with simple but pretty flavors of citrus and wildflower; smoky, honeyed notes add complexity. It’s on the sweet side, maybe too much so, but that’s the way lots of people like to drink their “dry” white wines. Decent value. 1 Note

This is very clean, lightweight and tasty. The nose has a lovely note of lychee, along with citrus peel, fresh-cut grass and a hint of basil that extend to the palate, finishing with toast and grass. Best Buy. —K.F. 1 Note

Fresh and light; the grapefruit and gooseberry aromas and flavors are tinged with capsicum and green peas. The residual sugar is noticeable, at 6–7 g/L, but balanced by brisk acidity. 1 Note
