Les Deux Moulins Sauvignon Blanc, Loire, France

A familiar Loire favourite returns with the 2025 Les Deux Moulins Sauvignon Blanc, carrying forward the citrus, gooseberry and refreshing herbal character that defined our previous 2023 vintage. This latest bottling brings peach, melon and delicate elderflower into the picture, supported by lively acidity and a tart lemon finish. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grown between Anjou and Tours and bottled at the same 11.5% ABV, it offers returning fans a fresh vintage to explore within an approachable, dry French style.

Sensory Description:

Pale lemon in colour, the 2025 opens with gooseberry, lime zest and grapefruit peel, followed by elderflower, a touch of passionfruit and fresh-cut grass. Lemon-lime flavours lead the palate, with peach and melon adding a softer fruit dimension through the middle. High acidity gives definition to its medium body, while wet-stone impressions and a persistent tart-lemon-candy note carry the dry finish.

Our previous 2023 tasting note emphasized lime, green apple, gooseberry and subtle herbs, with a lean, brisk profile. The 2025 tasting notes place more emphasis on floral detail and peach-and-melon fruit, while retaining the citrus and mineral character that makes the wine recognizable. For customers returning to the label, the connection is its refreshing structure and food-friendly style, with a different set of fruit nuances to discover.

Winemaker's Background:

Les Deux Moulins belongs to The Good Wine Project, an initiative developed through Paris Wine Company’s relationships with French producers. Founder Joshua Adler established the company in 2012 with an emphasis on thoughtfully selected wines that offered character and everyday usefulness. Following his death in 2022, the team continued that work, including the annual selection of cuvées for Deux Moulins. Frédéric Moreau is the oenologist associated with the label, whose Sauvignon Blanc combines fruit from gravel and schist vineyards between Anjou and Tours with cool stainless-steel vinification to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 8–10°C in a medium-sized white wine glass, allowing a little time in the glass for the floral and softer fruit notes to emerge. Like the 2023, this vintage suits oysters, steamed mussels, crab and fresh goat cheese. Its citrus and herbal character also works with grilled snapper, asparagus with lemon, tabbouleh or salads dressed with a tangy vinaigrette. Try fish tacos with lime and fresh coriander for a southwestern pairing, or serve with feta, mozzarella and herb-topped crackers for a simple aperitif spread.
