Loire, France

100% from 20ha of Domaine vineyards, a wonderful, fragrant nose and a very pretty, juicy, ripe palate.

Pale yellow with a beautiful sheen. Nose: Intense with light aromas of passion fruit, peach and citrus. Palate: Harmonious and predominantly floral with a mixture of light peach and citrus aromas, wrapped in lovely minerality on the finish.

Andre Dezat is well known for his superb Sancerre rouge. 100% Pinot Noir from 25 year old vines and 12 months in wood.

Lovely, green melon fruit, deliciously fresh and bright yet savoury and sapid too with a touch of salinity on the finish which is satisfying and flavoursome. Alcohol is 11% so refreshingly light.

This wine is pale lemon in colour with youthful hues, and is reminiscent of green apples and white flowers. The palate is crisp, clean and beautifully balanced, with a long refreshing finish.

An unoaked Chinon with youthful wild berry fruit, supple chalky tannins and a refreshing Cabernet Franc tang on the long finish.

Domaine Andre Dezat produces some of the very best Sancerre in Loire. From five separate sites over 20ha, this is pure, delicious, top class Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

This is a wonderful, bone dry but forward Vouvray from a very top domaine that is certified organic and fully biodynamic. Soft, perfumed stone fruit and melon flavours with complexity and balance.

Aromas of fresh mown grass, nettles and tart gooseberries are followed by a richly flavoured palate with a good concentration of fruit and dry typically Sauvignon finish. The wine has a great balance of ripeness and freshness with underlying minerality - just what Touraine Sauvignon should be.

Less well known than near neighbours, Pouilly Fume and Sancerre, Quincy lies on the eastern end of the Loire. Domaine de Chevilly is made by Yves Lestourgie in 20 hectares of 20 year old vines. His wife, Antoine, is a qualified oenologist and her influence can be seen in the winery , where the wines are left on the lees in tank until just before bottling. This adds an extra dimension of concentration and richness.
