Philippe Raimbault continues to make superb wines: classic Sauvignon
Blanc from both Sancerre ‘Domaine des Godons’
and Pouilly-Fumé ‘Montée des Lumeaux’
with the stylish finesse that comes with the finest ‘terroir’.
The Muscadet renaissance continues with the medal-winning
Domaine de la Levraudière ‘Muscadet sur lie’
which has the richness and fruit
so often lacking in these wines. Don’t miss our fabulous
Sauvignon de Touraine comes from Guy
Allion’s Domaine du Haut-Perron.full
of crisp gooseberry fruit, it looks fantastic value up against many New Zealand
offerings! Also new on our list last year are two further stunning small grower
Sauvignons with Jacques Rouzé’s Quincy
and Denis Jermain’s Reuilly.
The Vouvrays
of Gaston Huet need little introduction: some of the finest white wines in the
world and of legendary longevity from the master of ‘bio-dynamique’ wine
production.
As ever we love good rosé, and Philippe Raimbault makes excellent strawberry-hued rosé in Sancerre.
Good Loire reds are hard to come by but well worth seeking out. Philippe Raimbault makes a fine Sancerre that is made from a 100% Pinot Noir packed with juicy fruit flavours but with a balencing elegance. Simple, but deliciously packed with red fruit is our new Gamay de Touraine from Domaine du Haut-Perron.
