Loire 2014 tasting with Philippa & Charles: some nascent 2014s selected

Chris Kissack (The Wine Doctor) @ this week's tasting

Just a follow on from Friday's post about this first look, since the vintage, at 2014 Loires. As I reported they are generally showing well but here are a few wines I picked out from the tasting. Not I hasten to add an exhaustive list and with these very largely being unbottled samples these are not finished wines.

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie, Château du Cléray: Pierre Sauvion

Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu, Château de la Pierre, Domaine des Herbauges
