Loire, France

The thoroughbred name of Saumer and a high class wine. A blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc with two years bottle age. A deep, creamy, white fruit nose with a citrus yeasty palate.

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.

Less well known than near neighbours, Pouilly Fume and Sancerre, Quincy lies on the eastern end of the Loire, where the wines are left on the lees in tank until just before bottling. This adds an extra dimension of concentration and richness.

The nose shows expressive aromas of gooseberry, white flowers and a hint of tropical fruit. The palate is harmonious with zippy acidity complemented by vibrant gooseberry and stone fruit flavours.

Joseph Drouard and his son Christophe make classic Muscadet from 16 hectares of vines with an average age of 35 years situated on Silican clay around the commune of Monnieres. The wine is vinified at 21 degrees in underground glass lined vats and the wine rests on its lees throughout the winter. It is not fined and just receives a light filtration prior to bottling.

Fine elegant bubbles with white fleshed fruit flavours and a touch of hazelnut and almond. Crisp, clean with a touch of green apple tartness. A lovely aperitif or with seafood and fruity desserts.

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.

Pale yellow with slight green reflections. Expressive with aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and exotic fruits. Sancerre Blanc will go perfectly with a meal as an accompaniment to seafood, fish or goat cheese.

Peachy fruit on the nose and peach and slightly tropical fruit notes on the palate. Full-flavoured and ripe with a fresh lingering, lemony finish.

A stunning and unusual aperitif. 100% Chenin Blanc, bottled at low pressure. Delicious dried apple and apricot fruit with creamy yeasty notes.
