In a recent tasting of Loire Sauvignon Blancs, this was the groups favorite. Pale gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons and a slight flinty note. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, flavors of Lemon candy with slight lemon citrus. Good finish. This is nice on its own and will work well with many foods. It would be nice with grilled Tuna. Drink over the next two to four years.
This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight at first but opens to show lemon and slight crushed shells. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this seems to have a bit of residual sugar. Just a hint of sweetness. Also, flavors of lemon citrus. Good finish. This is nice on its own but probably a bit better with food. Ceviche would be a nice pairing.
This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Straw gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with a touch of lemons along with plenty of minerality. Medium bodied. Excellent balance and acidity. On the palate, the minerality dominates but there is some lemon as well. Clean, long finish. This is nice on its own but probably better with food. It would work well with fresh, Oysters. Drink over the next few years.
This is a Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern edge of the Loire Valley. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is waxy with lemon and some salinity. Tight. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, peaches with salinity and slight minerality. Moderate acidity. Good finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. Seafoods and lighter foods would be best. A nice pairing would be grilled fish. Drink over the next few years.
This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with slight lemons and a floral (white flowers?) note. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Slightly creamy texture. On the palate, crisp lemon citrus flavors. Plenty of depth and minerality. Nice finish. In style, this is lower on fruit with more on complexity and depth. It should age well and possibly improve. A serious wine. It is nice on its own but should be better with food. Crab cakes would be a good pairing.
