I received a sample of Vincent Ricard's 2010 Le Petiot Touraine Sauvignon (£8.99 from Patrick Rosin of Smart Wines). The 2010 is fresh, lemony with lightly grassy aromas. Vincent's 2010 is very much in the style of this vintage – more 'classically' Loire fresh with lower alcohol but more marked acidity than the rich, opulent 2009s.
Update: 7.4.2011 Having opened this several days ago and kept it stoppered in the fridge it has lost some of its aroma but gained additional weight, so reasonable to assume that over the next few months that the 2010 Le Petiot will put on extra weight in bottle.
