Produced from 50% Sauvignon blanc and 50% Semillon grapes, this is a crisp and classy wine.

Picture a lovely spring day in the French country side. Good friends, some fresh cheese, crusty bread, and this lovely wine. It is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Simillion done is a New World style. Because of the cold fermentation process and maceration on the skins, your nose and mouth are filled with fruit.

There are ripe aromas of citrus, pears and a little zest that dance around your nose. The feel in your mouth is smooth and creamy. The flavors are crisp and refreshing, with lemon, apple, and melon flavors.

Marquis de Chasse is produced by the proprietors of Château Chasse-Spleen, the property of Moulis-en-Médoc, run by the Villars family. Made in the style of this highly-regarded Château, this wine is elegant and harmonious, with a richness and intensity of fruit which are rare in A.O.C. Bordeaux.

Price: Under $10.

Vacu Vin Guy Buffet Rapid Ice Wine Chiller, French Picnic
Keep this sleeve in the freezer and when you decide you want to have a bottle of your favorite white, pull it out and slip it over the bottle. In about 10 minutes your wine will be chilled to perfection. It is also helpful for picnics. The sleeve will keep your white wine chilled while you enjoy the countryside or beach. I recommend that you keep it in the cooler while on your way.
