This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Lorie Valley in France. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has a nice minerality with crushed shells. Slight grassiness. On the palate, this is slightly oily with nice minerality. Clean finish. This is a solid wine that is a very nice value at $13. It will drink well on its own or with lighter foods.
Chidaine is one of our favorite producers of win es in the Loire Valley. Compared to most Sancerre's or Pouilly Fume's, this is a tremendous value if you like Lorie Sauvignon Blanc (the ancestral home of the grape). Not sure, well for the price, it sure seems worth checking out. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has minerality, hay, peach and slight grapefruit. Light bodied. Good balance. On the palate, minerality with grapefruit.
This is from the "middle" sections of the Loire Valley in France. It is a Sauvignon Blanc that is different from other versions made around the world. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is mineral driven with just a hint of limes. Clean. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, the minerality comes thru. Nice finish. This wine needs food. It works with cheeses and would be great with chicken salad. Drink up.
Another great consistent value wine. This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Light golden in color with some green hues, clear and bright. The nose has nice minerality with a bit of peach. Light to medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, mineral, and lemon with some peach coming out later especially on the finish. This is tasty and easy drinking on its own but also very food friendly. It would work nicely with Salade Niçoise. Drink over the next three to five years.
Light golden in color. The nose has nice minerality with some grapefruit. On the palate, this is a bit flabby and could use more acidity. On the other hand, the minerality carries forward. There is a bit of fruit. Nice finish. Eay sipping. A bit of a different take on Sauvignon Blanc.
