Brendan Stater-West "Les Chapaudaises" Saumur Blanc 2015
92
Our Score
(8/2017) Brendan Stater-West, an American teaching in Paris, fell in love with wine in the mid-2000s and decided to change gears. His passion for Chenin Blanc lead him to the cellars of Domaine Guiberteau in Saumur. Here, Romain Guiberteau taught him how to make beautiful Chenin and, eventually encouraged him to make his own wine. This is it! Preserved lemon, baked pear, chalk, cremini and thyme flavors lead a dense palate with a subtly searing finish. A very fine effort, worthy of a couple years in the cellar!

Damien Laureau "Le Bel Ouvrage" Savennieres 2014

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "The citrusgolden 2014 Savennieres Le Bel Ouvrage is from up to 50-year-old vines on deep and stony, not very fertile soils. Fermented in tank and aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels, and another six months in tanks, this is a clear, ripe, intense and fruity Chenin; it has some yeasty flavors in the background. Full-bodied, rich and highly elegant, this is a dense, concentrated, perfectly balanced, refreshing mineral Chenin with a firm and persistent structure; it has a long, complex and powerful finish. The aging potential is enormous, but the wine is also pretty accessible today. Drink Date 2016 - 2030."

Domaine La Clef du Recit "La Chene Fourchu" Sancerre 2017
Reminding us of some of the magical $100 wines of famed Loire grower Didier Dagueneau, the 2017 Le Chene Fourchu is one of the most distinctive Sancerres we have ever featured!

(1/2020) Anthony Girard crafts this special wine from a one hectare parcel of 45-year-old vines growing in pure limestone soils. Following fermentation, he ages half of the wine in concrete amphora and half in wood barrels, some of which are new. The use of oak, which is rather unusual for the region, provides a creamy mouthfeel, rich texture and flavors of vanilla and spice that sit atop a classic Sancerre frame of chalky minerality, high-toned citrus fruit and lively, refreshing acidity. Sancerre drinkers will appreciate the purity of the core qualities of this wood-scented, velvety-textured bottling. There's something there too for those who love upper-tier white Bordeaux and even white Burgundy. This complex and delicious wine is outstanding now, and will continue to improve over the next 3-5 years.

Domaine de la Bergerie "Clos de Grand Beaupreau" Savennières 2015

Our Score
(8/2020) Delicious. This 5-year old Chenin Blanc from Yves Guegniard reveals signs of botrytis via button mushroom, baked fruits, including orange, red apple, yellow pear, yellow flowers, salted white stones, high acidity, a fleshy texture and a long, complex finish. Simply a beautiful northern French white wine experience. Wonderfully drinkable thru 2025.

Thomas Labaille "Les Monts Damnes" Sancerre 2018
92+
Our Score
(6/2020) Labaille produces classic, authentic, appellation defining bottles of Sauvignon Blanc from the great region of Sancerre. This particular bottling comes from the famed single vineyard site "Monts Damnes". Weighty and mouth filling, this complex white discretely features electric acidity and contemplative minerals. Ripe and fleshy, with citrus, orchard and tropical notes. Long, complex, ageworthy, and in need of oxygen in opened young, this is what great warm-vintage Sancerre is all about, and it's less expensive than other "famed" producers. Excellent.

(8/2020) The Figeat vineyards consist of clay, sandy, and limestone soils. The result is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc with mild grapefruit and apple flavors, finishing with the distinctive flinty flavors. The perfect wine for goat cheese.

(6/2020) This 2018 Sancerre is lovely and expressive, providing classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc zest and minerality. Dry, with tasty citrus, orchard and even tropical fruit notes.

Le Sot de l'Ange "Sec Symbol" Touraine Chenin Blanc 2018
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) From Angelique and Quentin Bourse comes another vintage of this stunningly fresh and honest Chenin Blanc. Harvested from young vines on silex soils, the Sec Symbole is stony yet lush - medium-bodied with honeyed pear, Meyer lemon, white flowers and a refreshing dose of ocean-breeze salinity. With its wonderful balance of body and acidity, this is a must for fans of Vouvray Sec as well as fans of a good time.

Domaine de Reuilly Reuilly Pinot Gris Rose 2019
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) Kermit Lynch discovered this gem of a grower years ago and has been importing it much to the delight of American wine drinkers since. Denis Jamain is located in the small Loire appellation of Reuilly and while he makes terrific Sauvignon Blancs, to us he is best known for his skin-contact "Pink" Pinot Gris. Tangy and tart, this bright red fruited Rose gives lovely red flower and red fruit flavors and ideally would be served either with food or by itself, on weekends or weekdays. Basically, anytime - with anything or anyone! You're welcome.
