Catherine et Pierre Breton

Trinch Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2021

Textbook #loirevalley #cabernetfranc, this one from #touraine ; It was late in the evening after happy hour so notes are a bit more approximate than usual. 😜 Pyrazines active, green pepper notes, shy black/purple fruit, soft tannins and a vegetal earthiness on the palate. It could have been served cooler by the bar but nice night cap nonetheless. — 2 months ago

Domaine Delaporte

Chavignol Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Lean aromatic spot of light, clean, almost frosted lemon, lime juice, lime pith, and gooseberry aromas. Chalky. With zippy, bright lemon zest, nectarine, dried starfruit, green-white underripe blackberries, black currant leaf, and grapefruit pith. Amazing Sancerre with buoyancy and ethereal grace.

Famille Bougrier (Domaines Bougrier)

Cuvée Spéciale Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2017

I adore #loirevalley #sauvignonblanc . Here’s a typically French SB with soft grassy and tart citrus on the nose, hint of tropical fruit in your mouth, refreshing acidity. — 5 years ago

Domaine Paul Buisse

Touraine Sauvignon Blanc

Richer #touraine #sauvignonblanc - jasmine, dried white flower, hay aromas - delicious on the tongue, pleasing viscous texture from lees aging, honeysuckle, touch of orange marmalade and hints of white pepper on finish. Plenty of acidity framing the whole experience. Intriguing, complex #loirevalley white from Domaine Paul Buisse. Righteous QPR #costco wine. — 2 years ago

Domaine Huet

Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc 2013

Pic #3. 2013 Domaine Huet, Le Mont, Vouvray Sec. Golden hue with notes of melon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pear, white flowers, and grapefruit on the palate. Well-balanced and complemented the Lake Superior whitefish served in a mussel jus, with guanciale, and Brussels sprouts. Also in this pic is a tortellini enveloping a bite of good thunder cheese, tossed with zucchini agrodolce, baby corn, Swiss chard, and black trumpet mushrooms (which was paired with the Barbera on next pic, 4) #vouvray #cheninblanc #winesofloire #loirevalley #touraine — 5 years ago

Love those #loirevalley SBs - nice contrast in style compared to the NZ less-ripe SBs, though I enjoy both regions.

Marc Dupas

Les Parcelles Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Enjoyable #sauvignonblanc from #loirevalley - richer style, still plenty juicy / tart, some grapefruit, apricot aromas. Touch oily on the palate but really great QPR for under $9 at Total Wine. — 3 years ago

Château Bellerive

Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru Moelleux Chenin Blanc 2003

Deep, amber colour. Clean and pronounced aromas of stewed apricot, caramel, fig, linden flower and golden raisin. Palette follows with raisins, a subtle nuttiness with a superb balance of sugar and acid. Would be fantastic if paired with creme brûlée! #cheninblanc #loirevalley — 6 years ago
