Clos du Val was founded in 1972 by French winemaker Bernard Portet and partner John Goelet, and earned its place in California history by ranking among the top finishers in the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Still family-owned by the Goelets and now in its third generation, the estate has spent the last several years refocusing almost entirely on its Stags Leap District vineyards under winemaker Ted Henry. This Sauvignon Blanc is a small slice of the portfolio, blended with a little Sémillon and given a gentle élevage in a mix of stainless steel and neutral barrels for textural lift. The result is bright and fresh, with the ripe fruit profile that Stags Leap brings even to white varieties.

Robert Parker

90 points

"A blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sémillon, Clos du Val's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in a mix of barrels and stainless-steel tanks, then aged in so-called cigar barrels, where it is stirred regularly for five or six months. Despite the wood, this medium-bodied wine is bright and fresh, with notes of key lime, grapefruit and riper hints of nectarine, fig and melon." —Joe Czerwinski

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Elegant and precise, offering pear, Fuji apple and tangerine notes that are focused and fresh, with lemon blossom and white pepper accents. Reveals a touch of salty minerality that emerges on the finish, with a refreshing impression that lingers."

Wine Enthusiast

93 points

"Fresh, crisp and almost chewy, this lively wine combines appetizing acidity, subtle oak spices and bright apple, lemon and kiwi flavors. The wine offers great balance and food pairing possibilities for lunch, appetizers and first courses." —Jim Gordon

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Warm goat cheese salad on bitter greens; crab cakes with lemon rémoulade; grilled halibut with herb salsa verde; chicken paillard with lemon and capers; fresh oysters with shallot mignonette.

Tasting Profile

Key lime, grapefruit, nectarine, fig, and a hint of melon. Bright and lively on the palate with a textural mid-palate from barrel élevage and a fresh, citrus-driven finish.
