Some excellent wines from the 2007 Loire vintage. 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. Looking for a sweeter rosé, try our pink from Anjou.

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.  We now list a stunning estate bottled Chinon from Remy Pannier, a Cabernet Franc full of raspberry fruit with good balancing acidity.
