Sauvignon Blanc
75cl * Vegan * 13% ABV * Loire, France
Each night, without fail, winemaker Paul-Henry slips down to the cellar to check on his wines, making small adjustments here and there. It is remarkable then that he produces roughly one-quarter of all the wines in the Menetou-Salon with such dedication. This shows a fleshy, fruit-forward character reminiscent of lime juice and blackcurrant leaf. Drink alongside cod served in a creamy herb-flecked sauce.
'Bright, fresh, open and peach-scented. A fruit-driven style with savoury mineral tension on the finish. Best enjoyed in its youthful, exuberant fruitiness, this is a stylish, honest wine that speaks of its origins.' 91 pts, Beverley Blanning MW, Decanter Wines.
