Chevalier Alexis Lichine Sauvignon Blanc, 2022
Zesty and Easy Alexis Lichine Sauvignon Blanc
Chevalier Alexis Lichine Sauvignon Blanc captures a lot of what people enjoy about fresh, uncomplicated French white wines. It shows lively aromas of citrus, green apple, and fresh-cut grass, with just a hint of tropical fruit. I first tried this at The French Wine Merchant about two years ago and ended up buying extra bottles to keep at home—it quickly became a reliable “life saver” wine for casual entertaining.
At around $14.99, it offers very good value: crisp, zesty, refreshing, and easy to pour for guests without overthinking it. I’ve also had the great “honor” #lol of trying its cousin, the Chardonnay version. I gotta say, I really like that one too. I haven’t had the Cabernet Sauvignon yet, but I definitely look forward to trying it one day. I noticed it kept selling pretty fast at The French Wine Merchant, which only made me more curious.
Tasting Notes

Verdict (Value Wine) Pale lemon color. Lively aromas of citrus, green apple, fresh-cut grass, and a touch of tropical fruit. On the palate, crisp and refreshing, with bright acidity and flavors of lime, grapefruit, and subtle herbal notes. Zesty finish with a clean, invigorating aftertaste.
