2007 Sancerre, Henry Natter
Crisp, grapefruit quite austere and very much in the 2007 style – très droit en Français. very refreshing, especially on a hot day.
2008 Les Perrières, Saumur, Domaine de Saint-Just
Clean and lemony, 100% Chenin Blanc that sees no wood. May take more weight with age. Would be a good match with a plateau de fruits de mer.
2006 Saumur-Champigny, Château de Villeneuve
Herbal, soft Saumur-Champigny with good concentration for Jean-Pierre's domaine wine. Delicious – one of those bottles that disappear with startling rapidity.

I made a big mistake not picking up some Sancerre whilst in London recently. Slim pickings here in Alberta and what is around is not exciting and high priced.

Bob. I fear there are few reasons for living in Alberta ............. a move to the Loire is probably the only solution!
ReplyDeleteJim, funny you should say that. My friend Marc Vigneron who used to work here in Edmonton, has moved back to the Loire. He has a B`n B and is also an agent. It was Marc who brought Chateau Prince to Alberta.
ReplyDeleteBob. Where does Marc have his B&B please?
