A few wines:
2009 Climat No2 (Vin de France) from Lionel Gosseaume (Choussy, Loir et Cher). This is an unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc and the now rare Meslier Saint François. Very well made it has the aromas of ripe Sauvignon with some rich, spicy character and texture but with an attractive freshness in the finish. Although I tasted the individual components to this blend while in tank, it would be good to taste a finished pure Meslier Saint François.
An attractive Austrian 'orange' wine (above and below) brought to the event by 'Queen' Angelika Deutsch.
2007 Espectacle: powerful 100% Grenache from 120-year-old vines in Priorat
2003 Perrières, Bourgueil, Domaine de la Butte (Jacky Blot)
The 2003 vintage is the closest the Loire gets to the
richness exhibited by the above old Grenache
